<p>[QUOTE="Rolabeanhair, post: 7482333, member: 79918"]Having a hard time finding anything equivalent in my search to learn when / where this "quilt" was made. Calling it a quilt - covered with a natural gauze-type material with wool felt batting (has a New Material tag with RN 2796), and tied with yarn, 64" x 84". It's been stored in a 1920s cedar chest - smells lovely... May have been purchased to protect contents (reverse side has some cedar blemishes.) I've gone as far as asking the Fed Trade Commission for the date that the wool manufacturer had applied for its registration number (required as early as the 1940s.) Any input into its history is greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422938[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422940[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
