Included in this lot is this Vintage Wool Trade Blanket Pendleton Yakima Camp Pattern, circa 1930s. This blanket has a heather tone background with three sets of an alternating stripe pattern of black, red, and green on top and bottom flowing horizontally across the blanket, stripe edges are scalloped. Camp blankets were originally used by shepherds to brave the elements of the Pacific Northwest. Pendleton Woolen Mills, which owes its name to the Oregon town that held its first factory built in 1895, started as a fabricator for trading posts, first for the local Columbia River Nez Perce nation near Pendleton and then expanded to the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni nations of the American Southwest. The blankets were used as basic wearing apparel and as a standard of value for trading and credit among Native Americans. The blankets also became prized for ceremonial use. The company's longevity is largely thanks to its roster of local wool shepherds, some of whom have been supplying the company for generations.
This wool blanket is in good overall condition considering its age and normal use. One small hole noted, small tear along end seam, normal wear noted throughout. No other obvious marring noted. Measures 60"W x 78"L
