Vintage Beacon Camp Blanket with Satin Edge Large 72” x 160”

Vintage Beacon Camp Blanket with Satin Edge Large 72” x 160” Beacon blankets were introduced in the early 1900's. The Indian Trade camp blankets, as they are often called, were sold at stores like Sears Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward, W.T. Grant, J.C. Penny, dry good stores.  Beacon blankets were introduced in the early 1900's. Beacon blanket has become the generic name for many cotton blankets, because not all blankets were made by the Beacon Manufacturing Company and the term Beacon blanket is used loosely. Beacon blankets rarely have a label because they were actually made with paper labels that came off in the wash. Another company producing these camp blankets was the Esmond Mills Company of Esmond, R.I. These blankets aren't "new". One of the great features of these camp blankets is they have a soft texture and are not scratchy. Easy to care, machine washable. This model was photographed while folded.
