    Bought this minj fur coat cheap, figuring I could probably sell it for more than what I paid. It has a piece of fur missing from the back; I was surprised to realize it said "34% Mash Concentrate." No labels on the coat. I figure it's homemade? Any idea of age? Appears to have black bakelite buttons.

    I have sold fur coats and capes, not in wonderful condition, to folks who use them to make stuffed animals and on furniture (ottomans.)

    Hard to imagine this combination! Doubt was originally made this way, maybe someone got their hands on one and repaired with fabric that was available as Kyratango suggested.

    Is the entire thing lined with a feed sack, or just part of it? Seems like I am seeing other fabric in there.
