Age: 1973-1984

Label: Bilingual with the English reading “Made in England Hudson's Bay Point Blanket The Seal of Quality 100% Wool CA00234 with US and Canadian registration numbers and the Hudson’s Bay coat-of-arms. Condition: This vintage Hudsons Bay blanket is in very good condition, clean with very nice nappe (finish).

Color: Off white, red, deep indigo black, yellow and green

Material: 100% Wool

Sizing: 78” by 94”.  The standard for a 4 point vintage Hudsons Bay blanket is 72” by 90” with a weight of 6 lbs.  Collectors always look for blankets that meet or exceed the standard size as shrinkage occurs with laundering.  This blanket weighs 5 lbs. and 8 oz. - the standard weight is 6 lbs, so this indicates some loss of wool nappe, but a 1/2 lb variance is within the range of normal.  This blanket retains a very good nappe

This is a very nice vintage Hudsons Bay blanket - the older blankets are of better quality than what they produce today. 

Nice vintage Hudsons Bay blanket that will provide good warmth for years to come!
