Eastwood and Holt

Eastwood and Holt was founded in London in 1859 and began trading Namibian karakul pelts in 1924.223 In 1936, the company established regular auctions of Namibian karakul in London, but in 1940 all karakul auctions were transferred to New York; Eastwood and Holt has maintained this New York office ever since although the New York auction ceased in 1957.224

TABLE 3:8 Slaughter of Namibian Seals 1960-1972

Eastwood and Holt has played an instrumental role in the development of the Namibian karakul industry and has also actively participated in the promotion of karakul in the United States. In the 1940s the company lobbied in the U.S. to retain the valuable word "Persian" in respect to Namibian karakul pelts, and also successfully removed priceceilings from Namibian karakul pelts sold in the United States.225
