    Hi, I'm trying to identify the brand name on this very weathered label on a three point wool blanket.

    I can make out "Genuine Point Blanket Guaranteed Made in England"; however, the cursive name at the top left corner eludes me.

    Greatful for any insight and help!

    A second for Gault's.

    Per crazycrow dot com:
    "Throughout the period of the “Indian trade” in America, there were a number of both manufacturers and distributors of point blankets over the years. English made blankets were marketed by many different firms, including T. Eaton’s; Early’s of Witney; BCW; Globe; Gault’s; Mackay, Smith, Blair & Co. (Vancouver); Push, Tact & Principle; Simpsons; Hudson Bay Company as well as several others. Many of the firms offering English made blankets were Canadian trading companies or department stores, and most of the blankets were actually made in England by firms in the Witney or Yorkshire areas, such as Early & Marriott, Charles Early & Co., Charles Early & Son, John Lee & Sons, David Lee & Sons, Marriot, and others."
