A midcentury Harvard pennant featuring an embossed/tooled leather crest appliqué stitched to a crimson felt body, with a stitched outline around the crest field and tall vertical HARVARD felt letters down the length. The cream header retains its original corner ties and center hanging string, with a Chicago Pennant Co. label on the back listing the felt composition. Minor pinholes and light wear keep it honest without compromising the clean point or construction, so it reads like true Ivy League wall art pulled from a dorm room or campus shop.
Listing includes the item described above only. Any additional pieces shown are used for styling, scale, or archive context and are not included.
