The Pendleton Co. has been famous for producing top of the line wool blankets since Thomas Kay opened his first mill in 1889. In addition to Pendleton, there were many other American manufacturers of quality wool trade blankets in the late 19th and early 20th century. Those makers, their striking designs, and the resulting elegant blankets have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Barry Friedman to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 20...14. This "STILL CHASING RAINBOWS VOLUME 2" PENDLETON RACINE TRADE BLANKET REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured).
