One of the most uniquely patterned animal skins you will find. An awesome addition to any collection! 
 
There are several species of fur and hair bearing seal - each one having a different look and texture to their pelt. The more interesting the fur looks, the more unusual it feels. This particular pelt comes from a european hair seal sometimes called the marble seal. It has thick, not quite coarse hair that looks iridescent and almost reflective in certain light.
 
After obtaining this piece it was thoroughly cleaned, completely restored and looks as pristine as it did when it was originally custom made in the 1920's. In the photos you can see there are no wear or rub spots anywhere. No wear at all on the edges, sleeves, pockets or around the fur clips. Looking at it in person you would think it was newly made this season. It is lined with a brocade silver satin material, has 2 outside pockets and closes with 3 furrier hooks.
