[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9772989, member: 16407"]Hi again. I had great luck this last weekend and I think this is the best of it. I think this is a 'Third Phase' Navajo Chiefs' blanket. That would date it to the last third of the 19th century. Mine has a less elaborate central horizontal section than some I've seen online and I don't know what to make of that. Does that suggest it's earlier, later, or just a stylistic quirk? Are my identification and approx. date right? Condition: so there's major condition issues. That's my middle name. I know those affect value, etc. I have no plans to sell this; rather, I'm interested in knowing its history. I also know professional treatment is always a possibility, for both cleaning and repair, but short of that, can anyone make a recommendation for a light, gentle at-home cleaning? Measures 65" wide at top in pic, 61" at middle, (pic #1 makes the bottom look slightly wider than it is), 59" tall. Thank you all, as always!
