Fur ID Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can anybody tell me what kind of fur this is? I can tell you that it feels a lot like unsheared beaver, but the coloring has me perplexed. And I've never seen beaver sewn into narrow pelts (2-3 inches). The fur feels much too soft to be a mink but the coloring is wrong for beaver. Any ideas?

Maybe Muskrat made to look like Mink? Was often done.

I think it's muskrat. My muskrat craft coat looks exactly like that.

Thanks for the help. Muskrat isn't the answer I was hoping for, but at least now I know what it is.

Why is that? Don't like the way it sounds? Lol

If I recall correctly, muskrat used to be called "Poor Man's Mink".
