If only this blanket could tell its history - handsome alpaca heavy blanket in shades of brown double sided fur - from estate of couple who rented and lived at the Waldorf Astoria when that was possible and was sent to heir with other estate items in wooden barrels. Current owner (age 70s) remembers traveling as a child using this blanket. He said it was just always called the "Alpaca Blanket." It was a used blanket, not collectible. The silk label is frayed but we can read it partially. Condition described below.
Made for Abercrombie & Fitch Co. which label began in 1904
Size approx 46" X 70" double sided fur - Weight before packing approx 4 lbs 7 oz.
Condition is very good for antique age over 100 yrs - has a spot of damage on front and 2 areas on reverse of blanket - note photos please. If we missed something it will be minor flaw.
You will want to have it pro cleaned as it is as arrived from living estate. packed for some time. Unfortunately our area does not have someone who does this cleaning well.
