This uncommon real photo postcard features a pretty woman wearing a mink stole. Shockingly, it is not just a fur stole, it’s a whole mink. The animals head, feet and tail are all included. PETA would not approve. Personally, I make it a policy to never wear anything with a face. However, this postcard is from the c.1920’s and wearing a whole mink was likely not politically incorrect or a violation of social values and social norms. This is an unusual postcard. The photo has exceptional clarity and the photographer posed the young woman and her stole excellently. (SOLD)

Kudos on your policy! I once had a falling-out (short-lived) with a girl friend who would not sign my petition to stop trapping foxes (or anything else that happened to land in a steel trap) because then ” I couldn’t wear my fur coat” that her new shotgun husband bought her. Interesting that when the child was maybe 10? they divorced. It was my wake-up introduction to a world containing selfish people.
