Information - Bob Forbes
These Native American designs, found without fringe, are quite different 
from ones seen in any other "Indian blanket" series.
 
The fronts are a smooth plush material, while the backs have a coarse feel 
and show only the bleed-through reverse of the design on the front along 
with a rubber-stamp with the factory number on some specimens 

(Factory 30, 2nd Dist NY & Factory 649, 1st Dist NY have been observed). 

Ten different designs are known, many of which have been observed in more 
than one color combination, and there are very possibly more unrecorded subjects.
