World's most expensive blanket (video)

[JohnnyRingo]

It sold this past summer at auction and I'm not going to reveal the record price just yet, but the back story made me openly weep tears of joy for the man who owned this First Phase Navajo Chief's blanket.

It was handed down from generation to generation in his family and used casually around the house:

Take a happy break from predatory CEOs and Benghazi for a few minutes and watch a happy ending.

1. Reminds me of my favorite Antiques Roadshow moment:

Makes me cry every time.

3. The video points out that that was the previous record holder

I believe that blanket eventually sold at auction for a half million dollars.

2. Good story, such a likable couple too

Not that unlikable people don't have good things happen, but I am glad that this family didn't sell that blanket to some unlikable person, before they found out how much it was worth.
