The “Muskrat” was the biggest eyebrow raiser to me. 50% Coney (rabbit) probably not a surprise… Langenberg at one point was bragging on some of their hats as pure “imported” Coney

i wonder what period that covers and if it was used across the entire line (I doubt it). A huge thanks to Dave @DaveProc for so many valuable adverts and adding to our knowledge.

I suspect being a store ad that info may have been passed on by a sales rep to an inquisitive store owner/manager who insisted on knowing the whole process. Now weather he was just BSing is anyone’s guess. And then again that entire scenario I just kinda made up in my own head… so….

Muskrat and Coney are still far better than North American Wharf Rat.
