Need help identifying Fur Coat

It’s not fox. I guess it could be pieced raccoon. I’m curious.

 

@Eric Haefli .. The owner of the fur @KeriK says s/he's in Florida. Good luck trying to find a fur shop there. I also live in FL, northern part even, and in all the years I am here I've never seen any.

OTH, you might find a sweet senior citizen volunteer in a charity thrift shop who may be the last member of a furshop owner family from up north. Now S/HE would definitely know.

 

Don't know where the OP is located, but we've a venerable old furrier here in Orlando: https://labellesince1919.com/ - would be surprised if most of the larger metropolitan areas don't have at least one furrier, would guess the Miami area has more than one...

somehow , i just can't see a homeless woman....parading around in something like this......

 

@komokwa You're probably right. OTH, it might make a warm cover on a cold night...

 

Good morning all. I agree with Tanuki. It looks to me that someone, for some reason, tried to be creative with geometric shearing or cutting into it for some sort of design. If you look at where you said the pelts are patched together, find one, mark it thru to other side (pins) look for the fine ends of each hair and thicker where I think you will find cuts making the long natural fur shorter. Second if you find a seam where sewn tug a bit, if the seams easily come apart and the fur rips, then both are dry rotted. If the seam comes apart and not the fur, then the seam is shot and on the low end you are looking at $600-1,000 to repair. Dont put it in plastic or this could happen in no time in a heated house. I hope this helps.

 

Welcome to Antiquers, @KeriK -- I hope you come back soon to see all of the replies!
