You have a beautiful family, and thanks for saving the rabbit hides. I worked for two years I guess from 1978 to 1980 maybe 80 to 82 some where there about. A company called Dakota Fur and Metal. The winter time work was all hides, Coyote, Badger, Fox, Racoon, Muskrat, Beaver and in the summer time we would take in cow hides. The cow hides would be stacked in a tin shed all hair side down layered all over the floor and I would have to cut off tails and any excess fat then salt them come fall time they would be rolled up hair side out and wait for freezing conditions and then sold (the hair side in this case was not important.). North Dakota where I live freezes almost every night starting end of Oct. But for the other hides they had a fleshing pole that and a knife that looked like a backwards draw knife. The fleshing pole was a pole about the size of a telephone pole not that long but that diameter and one end was on the floor and the other end was raised like you had it propped up on a saw horse, and the business end was shaped like and anvil round end only larger, you would slip you hides on that. They had boards actually coon brds, coyote brds etc for each animal these board kind of looked like small Ironing brds. The company also had a person to sew up the hides that had any fleshing mishaps. When done drying and I don't remember how long that took although I thing overnight, they would be turned inside out noses where the hardest and the starting point, the they had a big tumbler made out of lumber, it was about 8 feet in diameter and about 2-1/2 feet wide and had sawdust inside it and they would throw stanisole in there and the hides would come out of there looking like well........... great. really nice I always thought the Badger looked the nicest. But I being color blind I suppose its not the best. Take care Me

One tip for skinning old rabbits. When the rabbit is dead and hanging on its legs before starting to skin it, make a small cut on the leg and put in the hole the hose of a bicycle pump, hold it so the hose don't come out and pump a few times. It will become like a baloon. The air will do the hard work of pulling the skin from the meat.
