Many thanks to everyone for their help!
The furs were identified and sold on the same day, and are now on their
way to loving new homes.

Well gang, I went to Macy's fur vault on Monday and lucked out. Their
furrier specialist from Chicago was available on site today, and was
happy to look my fur pieces over.

Hi Michelle,
Here's my best guess: martens. During the 20th C. ladies wore a nice suit
with a set of martens around their shoulders. They were clipped nose to butt
around the body.

Thanks, Jen.
I agree; I think it's time I looked for a furrier.

In any case, I have a great deal of fur envy and Michelle should
probably talk to a furrier to get an idea of what they really are and
how much they're worth.

Mink do not turn white in the winter and AFAIK neither do marten/sable.
Ermine are considerably smaller than either mink or marten/sable and when
in the white phase they have a distinctive black tip on the tail.

I have some Russian sable and some of your fur looks just like it (the
darker, reddish one). Hope that helps.
