z Sold ~ Ladies Small Muff Hand Warmer in Fur

Vintage Fur Muff in good condition for its age.
A popular clothing item from about 1600-1900, was the hand muff. Used by both men and women, it was a cylinder of fur or fabric with both ends open for keeping the hands warm in winter. Remember when traveling from place to place during this time, you were often in an unheated horse drawn carriage and Jack Frost nipped more than your nose. If accosted outside of town by a highwayman (robber) who wanted more than your coins, what better idea than to draw a small pistol from your muff and defend yourself.
This Muff  was well used and does have some fraying around the satin trims.
