Vintage Short Fur Coat / Blonde Mink? / FLAWED CUTTER AS IS

This jacket was my great-grandmother's, bought in Ottawa from Burkholder Furs, circa 1950. It looks like blonde mink, but I am NOT a fur expert and might be wrong. The pelts are dry, and there is cracking at the top of the right shoulder (see photo). Restyling is an option, but the condition is not great - I'm hoping someone will find an alternative use and give it another life. I've read that people use old furs as animal beds, for instance. Listed as a "cutter". No, I won't be offended if you use this for crafts! Priced accordingly. Once again, this piece is flawed and not in wearable condition! If you're looking for a wearable coat, I have a similar one in better condition that I'll be listing shortly.
