I'll try to get a picture up one of these days.
Hank, please do share a picture of your Senators blankets!! I'd love to see that. I picked up a Clyde Milan in an antique store in Montana while on vacation a few years ago -- that and two others for about $50. Here's my B18 residing in my Senators/Twins type collection:
