This is a very nice quality fitch fur muff dating probably to the 1940s. Fitch fur is similar to mink, but with distinctive darker markings. The fitch is also known as a polecat. This fur muff is made in a rectangular shape and has a smocked satin back with zippered compartment built into it. There is a centre panel that inserts through a black satin loop - when opened, it reveals a small compartment, maybe for coins. One would simply place one’s hands into the open cavity in the middle of the muff to keep warm. When not using it as a hand warmer, you would carry it on your wrist using the built on satin strap.
Color: Light brown with darker striping
Sizing: One size fits all - 14” wide by 11” high, exclusive of any fur hair extending out
Condition: The fitch fur muff is in very good condition with no pronounced wear.
This is a lovely vintage 40s fitch fur muff !
