It is from the 50s. Please post some better pics when you get it, the ones on Mercari were not great. But the leather looked to be in good shape. For a newbie (hell, for anybody) you did very well starting out with a HH Spiegel. You gonna need a zipper, @photo2u can help you there.

King O Fur grizzly jacket. One hell of a thing, ain't it?

Legend has it that King O Fur used to sell blankets back in the days under a different name. But time changed and people stopped buying blankets as much for some reasons. So that company switched to the King O Fur name and started selling these grizzly jackets. Unfortunately, this maker only lasted for a few years due to the death of its owner. Who knew if this company continued on and became some sort of the California Sportswear of the Midwest?

Yep, most amazing. I'm 1.50 hours from Dubuque Iowa also home of Glover. This catalog is a testament to their being an unsung maker at the highest level
