Product Description
Extremely rare and, I might add, quite lovely comforter as used in the suites on the ss United States. This neutral pattern would be great in any home. In those days of heavy smoking, loads of linens had to be replaced frequently, either through staining, damage, or burns; thus the need for many spares. When I cleared out the storage units of Dr. Sarah Forbes (who won a huge number of items at the 1984 auction), I went through a very large amount of bedspread, blankets, and drapes from the ship, and a lot had cigarette burns on them (which I did not buy). Happily, this comforter is in excellent shape and can be used straight away in your home. There is a small tear on the back, which is where the ship’s location tag was, which can be easily fixed by any seamstress. It has been professionally cleaned. It fits snugly on a double bed.
I had two of these, and one sold so grab it while you can because you will probably never see another in this condition and especially because this price is lower than a modern Chinese-made comforter from a department store!
