"Guaranteed Witney" all-wool blanket label featuring a globe logo with the text "Witnedown Blankets Cover the World" and "Made in England".
Brand/Maker: Early's of Witney (a historic blanket maker from Witney, Oxfordshire, England).
• Material: 100% pure wool.
• Details: The label includes the "Witnedown" trade name and a registration/serial number. Witney blankets are famous for their heavy, warm, fleecy-pile finish created by raising long-fibered wool yarns.
60 X 84"

I believe, based on the label, that this blanket was manufactured during WWII by the Smith & Philips Company.
Its size seems to indicate that it was a "hospital blanket".
Great collector piece.
It is in very nice condition. There are no holes, the ends are nicely stitched.
Very nice blanket that has been gently used.
