Any pendelton blanket experts out there

Tlock · Mar 19, 2023

I've tried doing some research online with no success about this blanket, the wife ownes quite a few pendleton whool blankets and I've never seen a tag like this. Beaver state robes and shawls. Do they still make these? Value? What year approximately? It is in very good shape for being what looks like a older blanket. Any info would help.....planning on heading back to the antique store today for a possible purchase

That is what is called the Chief Joseph pattern... It's a pretty common one, available in a variety of color palettes and still in production. I'm no expert, but from the tag, I don't think this is a particularly old one.

Any idea on a used value? I've bought all her blankets new from the factory except a few yard sale finds and ones handed down to us

Sorry, I looked closer and that pattern is called "Harding" not "Chief Joseph." Still in production: https://www.pendleton-usa.com/produ...ml?dwvar_70056_color=53949#start=26&cgid=H130

King size retails for $529. Same as a used gun, I wouldn't pay close to retail, but I also don't think that there's a high amount of collector value per se for this particular blanket. What are they askign for it? Think about what you would be willing to spend on a used gun, then think that this is a high-quality item that might be something that you get every-day use out of for decades. It's certainly worth hundreds.
