Navajo Storm Pattern rug 1920's with family history

Description

56" x 37"
Navajo Storm Pattern rug, 1920's. Excellent condition, slight blemishes on one side, which can be removed. This rug has been stored for many years, taken out occasionally to hang on the wall or put on floor, but then put back in the box, where it has mainly stayed. It has a few yellowed spots on one side only, which can be cleaned or removed professionally. Otherwise, the weave is excellent, with no fraying, tears, or holes of any kind.
This blanket is from the estate collection of my great uncle, Tony Richardson, Southwest Indian trader and a prolific Western writer. It is an antique rug, woven in 1920's at Cameron Trading Post, AZ. Tony was a trader, living and working with Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Native Americans and he was a friend to the Indians. He and his family owned several trading posts in the Four Corners area from the 1880's on. This rug was given to my grandmother, his sister, and later handed down to me. My uncle and his family founded several trading posts in the four corners area, and at least 2 of them survive today:
Cameron Trading Post, in Cameron, AZ,
and Richardson Trading Post on Route 66 in Gallup, NM, still family owned.
