Rare early University of Minnesota leather pennant, likely from the 1910s to 1930s, finished with a silver screen printed seal that reads like a small trophy on the wall. It sits in the same lineage as the tiny tobacco premium pennants tucked into packs, but this is the larger format, more in line with a bookstore souvenir meant to be kept and displayed. Most period survivors are felt, which makes the leather substrate and clean metallic print a rare combination to find intact today. The leather surface shows a faint ghosted band, a lighter zone where something once sat against the hide and acted as a resist over time. Honest age throughout, with collegiate symbolism that still anchors American sport and culture.
Listing includes the item described above only. Any additional pieces shown are used for styling, scale, or archive context and are not included.
