WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Step back in time to the vibrant 1950s, an era when collectibles reigned supreme! From the thrill of baseball cards to the imaginative worlds of comic books and the intricate artistry of stamps, collecting was a cultural phenomenon. In 1953, the ingenious Hormel Company seized this trend, embarking on a remarkable campaign: they attached over 5 million vibrant wool felt 4 x 9 inch pennants, representing an incredible 95 different universities, directly to their soup cans using simple rubber bands (yes, seriously!).

Once famously advertised in beloved comic books and prominently displayed in bustling grocery stores, these special collectibles have become incredibly scarce. Very few of these nostalgic gems remain today, making each one a coveted artifact. At Americana Memories, we've passionately rescued and attractively framed these authentic Hormel Pennant pieces, transforming them into magnificent displays for your enjoyment. They're perfect for rekindling cherished old memories, celebrating monumental graduations and exciting acceptances, and of course, providing an irresistible way to brag about your beloved school with unmatched style!
