WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Back in the thrilling 1950s, the world was gripped by collecting fever – from baseball cards to classic comic books. In 1953, the ingenious Hormel Company spotted this trend and launched an unforgettable promotion. They daringly attached over 5 million incredible 4 x 9 inch wool felt pennants, representing a staggering 95 different universities, directly to their soup cans with rubber bands (yes, you read that right – pure marketing genius!).

These were no ordinary giveaways; advertised in beloved comic books and prominently displayed in grocery stores across the nation, these special Hormel Pennant collectibles quickly became coveted treasures. Today, very few of these historical pieces have survived the decades, making each one an exceptionally rare find. At Americana Memories, we’ve taken these unique pieces of history and lovingly framed them to create stunning displays. This isn't just about owning a piece of the past; it's about rekindling cherished memories, celebrating monumental achievements like graduations and university acceptances, and, of course, giving you the ultimate way to proudly brag about your beloved school with an authentic vintage Harvard treasure!
