Description
Ermine muff with silk lining. Belonged to Abbie Rowell Tredick, possibly purchased for her January 1870 wedding. The muff is lined in silk, and is rather petite in proportion. Also includes matching ermine neckpiece.
Both pieces are in the original box, which shows they were ordered from New York by Abbie herself.
