The last several days I have been researching this blanket on the Internet. The only result that I found was this ebay item. I found the same design, but it a tan and brown color pattern.
The ebay listing says that this blanket is 25 yrs old, from the Pendleton Roundup in Oregon. This is from the Western Woolen line, made by the Pendleton company. It is right on the blue sewn-on tag.
The Pendleton Company could do much better by putting information on their website to help us find out the age of blankets, showing the years that these were produced. The blue sewn-on tags show a range of yrs they were used.
A long time ago...my mother and I would go to a Pendleton Outlet Store in Washougal Washington. It was fun! We would spend time there, and would often buy some things. I have 3 blankets and fabrics from there. None of those things had the blue sewn-on tags.
Now-days the outlet store in Pendleton Oregon there is a large collection of blankets. Most of them have small flaws in the weaving. Some of the blankets are just slightly off-size, otherwise perfect. I found a perfect, beautiful Native American design blanket marked as a Queen...but actually it was just 1 1/2 inches too small to be a King. The price was about 50-60% off the regular cost.
When the winter weather gets cold, one of these wool blankets is wonderful.
