From the Jamestown Post-Journal this date in 1946:

 

 

The Post Journal, Jamestown NY - Lucille Ball Wants $60 G Albino Coat - Frank Neill Hollywod (INS) “Mrs. Desi Arnaz is one in a million. A one-of-a-kind fur is composed of 85 white mink pelts. Lucille will wear the finery created for the film, Personal Column, for Producer, Hunt Stromberg. The 'dream' coat creator found one pure Albino pelt among a bale of mink fur from Canada, and began putting them aside. Two years later, he had enough to create the glad rag,” published this date in 1946.
