VINTAGE 1950 ' S MINK FUR STOLE/CAPE FULLY LINED - RECKMEYERS FURS, MILWAUKEE, WIS
Item History & Price
This mink stole/cape was originally owned by a cousin of my mother. Her name was Marie P and this name is embroidered on the inside lower right of the cape-see photo.
My mother bought this cape from her cousin some time in the late 1950's or early 1960's. Do not know when my mother's cousin bought it. It came to me after the death of my mother in 1994 and I have owned it since then.
It is 16 inches from the neck opening in the front to the outside ed...ge and comes to about elbow length. Measuring from the neck down the front is 20 inches. The back from the neck down to the bottom is 18 inches. There is a fully lined pocket on each lower front side.
I will include the SPECIAL HANGER, seen in the photos, AND THE SPECIAL COVER shown in the photos which evidently originally came with the cape as the cover has the name Reckmeyer Furriers, Milwaukee on it.
NOTE: The photo of the inside lining looks almost whitish in the photo but it is darker than that and more closely matches the color of the fur.
