    Description

    Wow!  this is a super nice vintage light wt. wool blanket that was obviously woven before large scale looms made full sheets possible.
    Dimensions are 91 1/2" x 61 1/2"
    There is a seam at aprox 26" which would indicate this blanket is from the 1800s into possibly very early 1900s but it is perfect for 1700s or earlier reenacting since blankets of that era had seams too.
    It is woven from natural, undyed wool but does have a red trim material (cotton? linen?) binding around all edges in excellent condition and was handsewn on.  There are only a few slight age marks on the blanket but no visible large stains, rips, tears or holes.  It has been well maintained in original condition.   A rare find!
    Note the little "cross like" stitching done on end of seam.  Not sure what that means (symbol of the owner?), but adds character and certainly ensures seam stays in place and cannot unravel.
    Would be awesome for tying up under a soldier's backpack, used on a camp cot or simply to wrap around at night to keep warm.  Is not super heavy in weight making it very versatile for camp or home use.
