    Possibly the most rare Hudson's Bay Point Blanket label.
    This Gold embroidered variant of the Trademark B label is attached to a 4 point blanket with a white field and black headers.

    The 4 point markings are reversible. You can see them equally strong on both sides of this blanket. In my experience this is not a common feature.
    It measures approximately 69"x84" and weighs 6lbs.
    Condition is Very Good/Excellent overall with it's thick hand napped finish intact.

    Please note in picture 2, the last sentence in the description from Harold Tichenor's Collectors Guide states there may be gold embroidered variants of this label.

    In my research these early gold embroidered Trademark labels may have been special editions for the Klondike gold rush.

    If you have any more information about this blanket please contact me.
    Thanks for looking!
