Here are some links to scans of three 1914 B18 tobacco felts ("blankets") I found in either Sheridan, WY, or Billings, MT. When I stopped by a card shop in Butte, MT, I found a dealer with some beautiful vintage stuff (Goudeys, tobacco cards, etc.) who looked at them (smelled them per an earlier post here!!) and "felt" (pun intended) they were the real deal. He had just sent some in to be auctioned off. I'll be posting a tobacco card I bought from him to fill in a slot in my Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins type collection...
I'm totally thrilled to have found these in such great condition! I paid a premium for them, even after paying a lower counter-offer than what I had originally offered! (The owner's wife must have taken a liking to me
)

I have never owned any but these are in great shape.
What's the size on them?

The blankets are 5-1/4" squares. Looking at the B18s available on eBay, these are in pristine condition. I don't think PSA grades them, but I'm sure one of the other guys will. I'll at least keep the Washington Senator for my collection and may consider trading the other two for something in the future...
