    One of many of my finds yesterday! This also just happens to fit me perfectly! I have no idea where the heck I would wear it to, but I think I need those Marlena Dietrich Black pumps that were posted on here ;)... There's a large mink covered button that attaches it together.

    Photo #1 was taken outside yesterday which shows true color. It was just too large to upload so I had to crop it. I just looked and didn't realize I had to crop out the whole outside. I'll try again.

    Photo #3 was taken a few minutes ago and my camera has taken a dive, it looks darker than it truly is.

    I know many of you don't like this type of clothing, but I have to say, it sure is beautiful and in pristine condition! I'm not sure of the age, but I'm guessing that this one is pre 1960's. Stoles were made starting in the 30's because of the money situation due to the war.

    I also believe this one to be female (most expensive of all) mink because it's so soft and forms easily as opposed to heavier, more coarse male mink.

    It is said that American Mink is the finest in the world. And it's not just women wearing it, men are loving it too!

    Female mink are smaller and have softer, lighter pelts than the males. Consequently, more female skins are needed for a coat than male skins. It is just as warm, however, although the weight may be less.

    Mink is worked in many ways, and every part of the skin is used. It is a very durable fur that can last twenty years or more with care, depending on the quality. Prime quality skins are used natural and will wear the best. Dyed mink represents lesser quality skins - and both the lesser quality and the dyeing mean that it won't wear as well.

    Thanks for looking!

      Damn, I missed it too! My friend went and didn't even tell me till after. Guess I should use that word friend lightly!

      We missed the powwow at Marongo too! But I did find my grandmothers name on the list of the first 5 tribes, the Dawes list. That was cool.

      As far as bugs go...back in the day and not all at the same time of course, I've owned 6 of them. 5 were 1967's!!! The best year they made :) November sounds good...check your email, I wrote you about a month ago. wow, didn't realize it has been that long! I've been real busy too. Let's make a plan girl!
