ORIGINAL WITNEY 4 POINT WOOL BLANKET MADE IN ENGLAND # 2 PULLED OUT OF AN OLD TRUNK AT AN ESTATE AUCTION . THIS IS AN OLDER ORIGINAL WITNEY MADE IN ENGLAND 4 POINT BLANKET , SAME AS SOLD BY HUDSON BAY COMPANY . THIS ONE STILL HAS THE WITNEY LABLE WHICH READS -- ORIGINAL WITNEY POINT BLANKET , MADE IN ENGLAND OF PURE WOOL -- . THE BLANKET MEASURES 70 X 90 INCHES , HAS 4 BLACK STRIPS OR POINTS INDICATING THE TRADE VALUE . THE CONDITION IS VERY GOOD FOR IT'S AGE , NO RIPS OR TEARS , NO STAINS , THICK WOOL NOT MUCH SIGN OF WEAR . NOT PERFECT THOUGH , IT HAS A FEW SMALL MOTH TRACKS ALMOST REQUIRED IN AN ORIGINAL OLD WOOL BLANKET , AND THE EDGE STITCHING IS COMING UNDONE . THE BLANKET IS JUST AS IT CAME OUT OF THE OLD TRUNK , LOOKS CLEAN , AND SMELLS LIKE WOOL TO ME . BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CLEAN IT ,WHICH I WOULD RECOMEND JUST THROW IT IN THE WASHING MACHINE . THESE OLDER WHITNEY BLANKETS WERE MADE VERY STURDY , THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FAVORITE TRADE ITEM OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN IF THEY HAD TO MAKE A 6 MONTH 1000 MILE HORSEBACK TRIP TO ST. LOUIS TO DRY CLEAN THEIR WITNEY BLANKET . NICE ORIGINAL 4 POINT WITNEY PURE WOOL BLANKET MADE IN ENGLAND .
