Condition Report
Felt & Structural Integrity: The pennants generally display beautiful vintage character. The majority retain sharp, unclipped pointed tips and tight spine headers. Standard pinholes from historic wall display are visible on select tips and spine margins. Minor handling waves, light creasing from storage, and uniform surface lint are present.
Graphics & Screen Printing: The printed pigments remain vibrant and legible. The white graphics on the older pieces (such as the Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio State Rose Bowl pennants) show uniform age-toning and mild crazing typical of vintage felt paint chemistry.
Tassels: Most main banner panels retain their coordinating felt hanging tie tassels, though select pieces show standard fraying, curling, or partial shortening from age.
