WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Step back to the thrilling era of the 1950s, a golden age for collectors! From baseball cards to captivating comic books and coveted stamps, the world was awash with exciting treasures. In a stroke of marketing genius in 1953, the Hormel Company leaped into this craze, unleashing over 5 million vibrant 4 x 9 inch wool felt pennants – each representing one of 95 different universities – famously (and unbelievably!) attached to their soup cans with rubber bands. These weren't just promotional items; they were advertised in popular comic books and grocery stores, sparking a nationwide collecting frenzy. Today, very few of these extraordinary collectibles have survived, making each a genuine relic. At Americana Memories, we've taken these incredible fragments of the past and artfully framed them. Now, you can revel in their charm, igniting cherished old memories, commemorating triumphant graduations and exciting acceptances, and, of course, proudly showcasing your unwavering school spirit with a truly unique Hormel pennant!
