I got a good giggle when you said you could get a deal on "new vintage" wool Army blankets. Bit of an oxymoron don't you think?
Actually it does sound like an oxymoron. But they could have been made years ago but just found in an attic or storage area. I have seen things with the tags still on found in storage rooms or upstairs areas of old stores. Made in the 40's and 50's . So new(never used) vintage( made back when) :-)
