Lap blanket or lap robe

[Ray64]

An Auctioneer friend gave me a Model A blanket that came into his auction last week. The big box was full of Model A stuff. The blanket was tagged by the seller as Model A rumble Seat Blanket.. Need to know if someone has a PIC or the measurements. What does the HEM look like. It is 100% wool. This one is 54in.x70in. Brown in color.Hem is 1in. Very heavy. 5 to 6 lbs. Thank s RAY

The Ford Motor Company mentions lap blankets in one or two of their letters to the Branches, but I have never seen a Ford drawing, specification or a proven original blanket. Some sedans have a blanket hanging rope across the back of the front seat.

Hopefully, someone with facts will educate us.

So that is what that rope is for!! I was wondering the purpose. Thanks Bob for "educating" me.

I have knotted ropes on both sides of Vermin, to assist me in getting IN/OUT.

A couple of the clubs sell Model A robes as fund raisers and they are amazing at a very reasonable price! Wayne
