The label is the Stacked label from circa 1936-1939 but "100% wool" has been typed on the bottom. This is probably, as Harold Tichenor notes in his book, to comply with new cloth composition disclosure regulations. This Rose colorway was part of the Pastel line of blanket colours, first introduced in 1929.
