Please be advised this blanket looks better in the pics than in person.
It measures 87" by 73" across and weighs 5 1/4 lbs unboxed. The bed is a queen, 80" by 60".
It was made in Canada by the Ottawa Valley Mills. We believe the company does not exist any longer: this is a very old Canadian product.
It was probably made to compete with Hudson's Bay in the fur trade blanket business. For comparison purposes, an HB blanket of the approximately same size than this would be ...a 4-point. When exiting the factory, a brand new 4-point HB is expected to measure 91" by 72" and weigh 6 lbs.
This blanket here is comparable in size, but the weight is only 5 1/4 lbs, 3/4 lbs less than the HB. That gives you an idea of how much wool the blanket has lost after many washes or cleanings and years of wear.
We can not combine shipping of this item with any other of ours because of bulk and weight.
