I Love Lucy "The Fur Coat"

In this clip, from "The Fur Coat" ( Season 1, Episode 10, aired 12/10/1951), Ricky returns home with a $3,500 mink coat that he has rented for an act at the club. Lucy immediately jumps to the conclusion that it's her anniversary present. Lucy is so delighted with her "present" that she eats, sleeps, and even does the dishes wearing the mink. Ricky decides to get the coat back by having Fred dress up as a thief and "steal" it, but before he does, a REAL burglar almost makes off with the coat! When Lucy learns from Ethel of his plan, she decides to teach her hubby a lesson. Buying a cheap imitation mink, she decides to "restyle" it (with a pair of scissors) in full view of Ricky.

A NEW CAR IN 1951 COST $1,800.00 DOLLARS SO SHE LUCY JUST CUT UP ALMOST 2 NEW CARS LOL

[TheBearcub410]

the thing you have to remember what makes this so horrifying to ricky is that the coat cost 3,500.00 dollars in 1951 in today's money that would cost $ 30.685.00 a years salary for a working man , cars cost less than a mink coat did . so when you see an old mink at a yard sale or flee market think of how valuable it was at one time worth more than a car great clip thanks
