A client just brought me up a couple of Fur Fish Game magazines from 1938. One of the articles was written by a guy named H.R. Cokeley. It was about fur preparation and had some pictures of fur his brother, W.H. cokeley sent in to the national championships on the preparation of raw furs for market. W.H. ended up winning that contest and it showed him with the first place prize.....a brand new 1937 Plymouth sedan!

Kinda cool looking through these old magazines. They have an add in there saying you could pay for your subscription by sending in 3 muskrats hides!

Is that 3 American muskrats or Canadian muskrats.... I wonder if there was a muskrat exchange rate back then ?
