Guest Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anyone have an idea what sort of fur this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It looks like a fur ball keyring. But with only the ring shown for perspective, it is a bit hard to tell exactly what the fur is. Also the fact that dark furs are very difficult to light properly for photography does not help. It is probably a dyed fur which also does not help. My initial guess would be dyed fox as it does not appear to have the thicker guard hairs of a mink or beaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Oh, no, I'm sorry.. it's a muff, that goes from elbow to wrist, about 13 inches wide, and it's circa 1940s - 50s if that helps at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 CB, Thanks for the additional info. As you describe it as "long & thick", I will stick with my initial guess of dyed fox. However, it could possibly be dyed finn raccoon, dyed coyote, or possibly something else - I really can't tell for sure. Hopefully someone with more experience will provide a better answer. It does look like the item needs to be cleaned and glazed as some of the hair looks dirty and matted together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Fox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We need an expert on this one. But fox is often dyed. Fox has the different length hairs like that. I think fox was often used for muffs. I would think percentages would be pretty high on that guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thank you! I admire the look of it, I would like to find a muff this large and fluffy! Preferably not dyed tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrBrGr Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I agree with AK and White Fox - Most likely it's dyed fox . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
