For your consideration this lot includes a vintage 1950s 100% Pure Wool Blanket made by William Condon & Sons Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, circa 1950s. WIlliam Condon & Sons blankets are highly sought by collectors. This blanket is of medium weight, cream in colour with horizontal baby blue coloured stripes at both top and bottom, edge stitching is also baby blue in colour. It might be considered a trapper or Indian Trade blanket, but it is much less thick and heavy than the original blankets made in England by Hudson's Bay and Early's of Witney; this blanket has no "points". Canadians in Atlantic Canada would buy local sheep's wool when they were shorn in the spring, wash it, pick it and mail via Canada Post to Wm. Condon and Sons, PEI, to have blankets made. Prince Edward Island has a rich and renown heritage in textile manufacturing, particularly wool blankets.
This blanket is very soft and beautiful, in good overall condition, though there is staining noted along the middle fold from an unknown source, two small holes are noted within the darker portion of the staining. No other obvious marring noted. Measures 60"W x 72"L
