Just thinking that was the kind of outfit my dear little mum wore in the 20s, Jim, so got to agree with you on that.

Just love this little old lady, she made me come over all Gracie Fields...

Thanks everyone for  great photos.  Granny came from Kent so that fits.  Doubt very much it was a fur coat.

She's a darling, Ann, I couldn't resist her.

Do you know, Igor, I was thinking all the time I did it, that it looked like fur. The thickness of the cuff for one thing...
You never know, it might have been handed down, or a special present. What ever, she looks super.
