WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Imagine the bustling marketplaces of the 1950s, where the thrill of collecting was sweeping the nation – from cherished baseball cards to captivating comic books and intricate stamps. In 1953, the ingenious Hormel Company spotted this cultural wave and decided to ride it! They embarked on an extraordinary marketing venture, attaching over 5 million vibrant 4 x 9 inch wool felt pennants, representing an incredible 95 different universities, to their soup cans with simple rubber bands (yes, really!). These delightful mini-banners, once eagerly advertised in popular comic books and proudly displayed in grocery stores, have become incredibly scarce over the decades. At Americana Memories, we've rescued these remarkable pieces of history and lovingly framed them, not just for their aesthetic appeal, but to ignite a spark of nostalgia, celebrate academic milestones, and, of course, provide the ultimate bragging rights for your beloved school. Owning one of these authentic Hormel Pennants is like owning a slice of American advertising ingenuity and collegiate pride, perfectly preserved for your enjoyment!
