Its not everyday I can give a provenance for a blanket but i can this time
These were stored under a council building with beds , mattresses and paper sheets
Still wrapped in there hessian ,
Lets unwrap one
Hessian removed ,,,covered in brown paper
tied up with string
Remove the paper and there they are twenty five wool blankets new old stock as packed at the mill
This is what I was looking for a makers mark and date 1954
Proper cold war stock in storage for civil emergency ,,,Fantastic ..
I have never seen blankets still in the bales ,,
Having done a burn test these are 100% wool and will be washed in woolite and conditioner befor making into " Brit-Dogs "
