$85,000 Sable Coat Shocks New York Christmas Gift
An American woman, tied to a Brooklyn furrier, received at Christmas an $85,000 Russian sable coat weighing about five pounds. The garment, a dolman of 93 skins from Siberia, valued at roughly 52 times its weight in gold, highlights a year of record fur prices driven by postwar demand. Experts note wild sables and silver foxes fetch high prices, while raw pelts enter duty free, boosting U.S. fur output and market activity.
