I am offering an “Authentic Trapper Point Wool Blanket.” My research helped me determine that this is a Trapper Point 3.5 Wool Blanket. This Vintage Blanket is Green and accessorized with a Black Stripe and Hash Lines. The approximate measurements of this Wool Blanket are 86 inches long and 59 inches wide. The Wool Blanket was made in England decades ago, and like most wool products it seems as though that mostly everything it comes in contact ...with clings to it.
I have limited knowledge regarding the history of this Blanket. Some folks believe the Four (4) Little Hash Lines or Points indicate how many Beaver Pelts were required for trade, while others say the markings indicate the size of the Blanket. I do know that this Wool Blanket is quite old and was used; although not in recent years. While going through our late Uncle Henry’s beloved treasures, we discovered this and a few other Trapper Point Wool Blankets tucked away in a cedar chest. It was apparent that those Blankets sat dormant for many years. I was going to have this Blanket professionally laundered, but decided not, since I felt that the winning bidder would have it cleaned them-self once they were in possession of it. Often times when wooly items are not properly cared for their will be nibble holes from mice or moths - this is not the case (Please look at all 12 pictures). Also note that this Wool Blanket is not perfectly rectangular as it has some light stretching on its edges. This Wool Blanket has been folded and stored for such a longtime I cannot get the creases to go away after hanging it outside repeatedly.
Although one picture displays Two (2) Blankets which look-alike together, this listing is for the Blanket shown on the left.
I urge everyone to view all 12 pictures that I posted with this listing so that you can see photos of these “Vintage Trapper Point Wool Blanket” first-hand for yourself. If needed, I will provide my fellow eBayers with any additional pictures that anyone requests.
Since this Wool Blanket is being offered in As-Is-Condition, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have prior to placing your bid.
