Author: Catalogue - furs. Plymouth Fur Company, Minneapolis.
Title: Plymouth Furs.
Description: The company [c1910]. Large octavo publisher's printed and embossed boards (cloth spine a bit insect nibbled); 64pp, illustrated throughout in duo-tone. A 1950s brochure from Sydney furriers Heilman loosely inserted. ¶ A smart catalogue naturally; not so many labourers' wives bought furs. Plymouth also did furs for children and men, their motorist's racoon and muskrat coats are pretty good and as a child I would much rather have worn the mixed muskrat and dog than the itchy tweed hand-me-down I was forced into.
