How To Tell The Age Of A Pendleton Blanket

I've found good resources for Pendleton shirts and blankets but I tin can't find anything to determine the age of Beaver State blankets. Any help would be appreciated!

"The Beaver Country label refers to the long relationship betwixt Native Americans and Pendleton Woolen Mills. Tribes living near the mill in Pendleton, Oregon purchased robes and shawls... a relationship that has lasted for over 100 years. This characterization is reserved for Pendleton's Native-inspired robes, shawls, and saddle blankets."

Does the above link help at all???

Mayhap y'all could electronic mail a photo of your item to them????
I believe that's called a postage stamp label and has a wide engagement range of 1930-1972.
I sent Pendleton an electronic mail and to my surprise they responded inside 24 hours! Unfortunately, they never kept records of the changes they fabricated to their labels. Thanks to those that posted a answer. Both useful info
Well, I (for one?) am quite surprised (and dare I say disappointed) hearing that they (Pendleton) never kept modify/appointment records of their diverse labels. Phooey, I say, phooey!!!!
Ya, I'm going to agree with you on that !
You'd expect the buggers to know their ain history !
I believe if the label states "Pendleton, Oregon" every bit opposed to "Portland, Oregon" it is an older coating?
Why would whatsoever say "Portland?"
It sounds similar Pendleton has hired someone new to handle their email responses. Of grade they accept records of their labels! Their designs and production lines are carefully and thoroughly documented. Maybe the person merely didn't want to take the time to help. Non an alibi, though, and such actions generally are non tolerated past a reputable visitor like Pendleton.
In whatever upshot, Barry Friedman's book, Chasing Rainbows: Collecting American Indian Trade & Camp Blankets is the definitive reference, and will respond most questions one may have on the topic. Here is as well his web page that has examples of the labels and dates: http://barryfriedmanblankets.com/wool-trade-blankets/

Tyeldom3 is correct, this label was used from 1930-1972, and is the i that causes the about problems, since dating can't always be precise.
The corporate headquarters are in Portland. Pendleton Woolen Mills are located in Pendleton and Washougal, Washington. All the Indian fashion blankets are fabricated in Pendleton. Other lines, such as clothing, home goods, and upholstery are made in the Washougal factory.
The clothing usually carries a different label than the blankets, but it is non uncommon for wear labels to show upwardly on blankets, sometimes the upshot of some creative sewing skills on the part of sellers, who hope the buyer will just see the "Pendleton" part and not be familiar with the difference. I've fifty-fifty seen them on cotton military camp blankets, which were never made past Pendleton.
Cheers, Taupou. I've been through Pendleton (twice), only of course, "corporate" being in Portland does make sense - although that would accept been a heck a ride earlier the interstate went through.
Pendleton Woolen Mills has always had a presence in Oregon'southward Willamette Valley, which actually started with Thomas Kay's woolen factory in Salem in 1889.
His girl inherited the business, married C.P. Bishop, a successful retail merchant, and their three sons were responsible for expanding the manufacturing to a mill in Pendleton in 1909.

Headquarters for the business concern (which is now in the 6th generation of family ownership) was established in Portland in 1919.

It still seems like a long bulldoze from the east side of the state to the west, or vice versa, especially in the winter.
Thanks! I did not know that.
And aye - a heck of a drive!
All the Pendleton clothing I've seen has "Portland, Oregon" on the label. I read somewhere (can't remember where, lol) that information technology's older pieces that have "Pendleton, Oregon" on the characterization. May not exist truthful, it seems, for the blankets.
I never looked that closely at the labels, I approximate.
The final Beaver State labels on blankets (subsequently the one shown here) went into production in 1972, and said Pendleton, Oregon until very recently. At present plain neither Portland nor Pendleton, Oregon is used. Well-nigh but say Pendleton Woolen Mills
On clothing, the Portland, Oregon on the label dates back to the 1920s, when clothing lines were first introduced. And so it doesn't appear to be a recent addition. I don't think vesture was ever made in Pendleton, so the earlier labels would say Portland, Oregon.

The more generic label, leaving off the town names, may exist a result of moving product of some of the wearable to overseas factories. The textile is still made in Pendleton and Washougal, but the sewing of about one-half the clothing and home appurtenances is largely washed in Mexico and Nippon,
My beaver country blanket says it was made in Pendleton, Organ whatever ideas on how old information technology may exist? Or it'south worth?
read the thread...prove united states of america pictures.....and only sometimes do nosotros offer values..
And be certain to spell Oregon correctly when you search.

komokwa and Taupou similar this.
