Mint Lucille

Mint Lucille

How much do you think this fur coat is worth & a place to get it appraised at the the Atlanta area?

This coat is very vintage, probably around the 1950's, and it is in mint condition. It has been passed down through our family, never being worn and now we ended up with it. I believe it is leopard and mink (this makes me sad as I love animals, so don't get me wrong having this coat) but I am not sure. I know that leopard is illegal so this cannot be sold to anyone out of state, etc. It also has been rumored that this use to be owned by Lucille Ball, but there are no initials anywhere, so again, not sure.

How much do you this it is worth? And is there a legit place to get is appraised at in the Atlanta area? Thanks!

It looks like fake fur to me, because coat is pretty long, but I don't see any stitches on it and animal skin cannot be that big.Second, leopard print is apparently fake and i see no mink on this coat.Another possibility--this is mouton(lamb) fur coat, printed in leopard pattern.But again, for me it looks like fake fur.This is a coat, very similar to yours:http://cgi.ebay.com/FUN-SHORT-LEOPARD-FAUX-FUR-Women-s-Jacket-SZ-M_W0QQitemZ180368118132QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Outerwear?hash=item29fec71174&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=|293%3A1|294%3A30
