Thanks for the kind comments all of you. The most important hides were from wolfs, lynx (the ears in #11), fox, perhaps coyote, and beaver; There were also some mustelids of which I think wolverines were most important. Here is a list of all the animals that can be trapped for fur, but I do not think all of them were present:

The 300 PF is a fun lens for portraits at events like this for sure! Somehow I like #9 very much too, it is such a nice parka.
BTW, here is an old slide scan from a similar auction downtown Fairbanks about 20 years ago. Not much has changed. I very much like the contact between the little native girl and the action.
