Provenance:
This fairly unused item of clothing was given to Mick Tighe by Mary Connor, Roy Bridge, widow of Ephraim Connor, one time proprietor of Glenspean Lodge Hotel and a Homeopath. Ephraim had a military background and was a shooter/marksman and we suspect this coat/cape came from one or the other of these camps.It would seem to be around the 1940’s era and of good quality originally.
