I think you are right about the middle top one. I am not sure but the on on the right may be rabbit, it's kind of yellow looking.

The bottom right and the one that kind of looks like a wig for Tina Turner are still not totally sure of. However the Tina Turner one is my favorite for sure and I have not made jigs out of it yet. The bottom right one is probably going to have to be used as dubbing it's so thick.

top pic (left to right)... raccoon... chinchilla..... red squirrel

That bottom one with the fox.... it looks like bear but could be what they call that "faux hair"....

So you think chinchilla huh? May be I am unsure. The bottom is some kind of very thick fur with heave underfur too. Once someone thought maybe Australian/New Zeland Opossum and have had someone else say another animal and I have to see what that was maybe Beaver??

Another said the middle top one was Raccoon??

The middle one I was told Silver Fox?

Skip

might take some snippets of each and put in separate baggies... then next time in the shop do a comparison and see if you strike gold in finding out what they are.... I've wound up with some wild, zany materials from time to time and have yet to figure out what they are!

the bottom one with the red fox looks like mink and the top yellow one looks like bob cat or coyote maybe

Nope top pic the 1st one is possum the 2nd 1 is coon the 3rd one is fox possum is used more in ladies hats and coat cuffs they most any mid dollar fur product!

All of these are hats and the the first one is trowing you foo flatfish46 because it is the same hat in the 2nd pic, but the angle was just bad.

I do think you have nailed the middle top one. That yellow one I am just not sure of and have hat lots of guys tell me it was one thing or another, but I believe it is rabbit unless flatfish46 is right about the fox possum as I don't have a clue as to what a fox possum is.

I did ask a guy that is a wholesaler of all kind of hair and fur and he told me the one bottom right is Australian/New Zeland Opossum, but I have no way of knowing that. He said the hat in the second pic is Silver Fox, but I am not 100% sure of that.

I just don't go any place that I can compare these to.

Had these for a while and only tied one jig using the red fox on the bottom pic. Need to just go on a cut the hats like that Silver Fox and tie something.

What, no chance of it being skunk?

Easy I looked at some of the fur patch's I have. The second picture is Badger, the third picture the yellowish one is most likely fox and the gray think one is chinchilla.

Badger hiar thickness is dependent on when they trap it spring or winter. The winter fur is way thicker.

Australian opossum is more orange colored

Opposum Skip you know possum . I take that back its wolverine to long for possum same color though.

I think someone else once said the gray one was chincilla. The one next to it in that 3rd pic is red fox, but I think the color is a bit off on it. I can see how that middle pic could look like a Badger and I sure wouldn't now since I never been in country where they live. So never seen on up close and personal. That one is going to make some very nice jigs and flies. The hair is limp enough to make for a good tail I think.

The Red Fox is so soft it's really nice too and should have lots of action in the water.

Thanks everyone,

What I want to know is how much are they! lol. The red fox would be awesome for some patterns I tie. So would the chinchilla (silver, gray blueish one) Still think the one could be skunk/polecat.

A customer gave them to me as someone gave them to him and he had no use for them and after a while his wife said get rid of them and he sent them to me.

I sure was happy when I got them. So as for how much are they, not for sale sorry. No skunks in these even if I don't know for sure what each is at least I know a few of them.

Well I didn't want yours, just wanted to know how much they were but you got the best price there is.

Gonna have to find some fur pieces on Ebay. Maybe I can actually find a deal there for a change.

I think some hats can be found on ebay, but some may cost a bit while others are probably not as high.

I know that if you want a raccoon tail and most Fox tails are available for sure. If you can't find them at a reasonable cost let me know and I will see if I can help.

Much appreciated! Only coon I can get here is road kill. I always say I am gonna stop and get porcupine quills off road kill but never have a chance to.

Fish for all

check out a guy on ebay named bronze3, don't know if he's still selling or not but he's a taxidermist and puts large pieces of fur into packages and sells them. Sometimes you can get quite a mix.
