    This caught my eye at a recent estate sale, they were just pulling it out of a box. It is wool, and the former owner said it that their grandfather "used to keep it in his car" many years ago. Approx 62" x 52". I could just imagine it folded up in the back seat of some old car, just in case the car ever broke down. No animal smell, no fading, and honestly it looks unused. It seems older, maybe 1970's or even earlier?

    I have three friends who do a lot of knitting and sewing and the first thing each said was that it looked like it was hand done.

    So, question. Would something like this have resale value on Ebay? What keywords would I use if yes.

    Could be mid-1960s. The colorway, olive green and turquoise, is Mod.

    That looks like a Welsh blanket. I'd agree on 1960s and highly saleable.
