WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Step back to the fabulous 1950s, a golden age for collectibles – from baseball cards to thrilling comic books and beyond. In a brilliant marketing move in 1953, the Hormel Company launched an unforgettable campaign, attaching over 5 million incredible 4 x 9 inch wool felt pennants, representing a whopping 95 different universities, directly to their soup cans with rubber bands (yes, you read that right!). Imagine the excitement of discovering your favorite university pennant while grocery shopping!

Once famously advertised in those beloved comic books and prominently displayed in grocery stores, very, very few of these extraordinary vintage Hormel Pennant collectibles have survived the test of time. At Americana Memories, we are thrilled to bring these scarce relics back to life, attractively framed for your ultimate enjoyment. This isn't just a display piece; it's a tangible link to the past, perfect for rekindling cherished memories, celebrating monumental graduations and proud acceptances, and, of course, giving you the ultimate way to brag about your beloved Dartmouth!
