A very large, heavy winter coat made from a bison hide in the late 19th or very early 20th century. The outside is covered with black fur with brownish fur underneath. The collar is closely cropped brown fur. There are four wooden toggle buttons down each side of the front. A diagonal slash pocket adorns each side of the front at about the midpoint. The sleeves are lined in a white-striped black cotton material. The body lining appears to be a polished black cotton with wavy sewn lines down the entire length in various colors of thread. The pocket bags are a flecked cotton flannel material. There is an interior pocket on the left side. CONDITION: the outside of the coat has a good appearance, with only minor fur loss. The lining is torn and worn in a few places, not affecting the overall integrity of the coat. There is a separation at the peak of the collar and a few other places throughout the coat. A fine example of a buffalo hide coat, once a common sight in Western America. (02-23375/BF). $750-1,500.
