Up for sale is an incredible, freshly uncovered estate-sale lot of two (2) 100% authentic, original mid-century University of Iowa Hawkeyes full-size collegiate pennants. These are true period pieces dating precisely from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, not modern retro reproductions or "Vault" lines.
Pennant 1: The Pasadena Rose Bowl Commemorative Pennant
Manufacturer : Features the rare, highly collectible original IMPKO
(Imprint Art Products, Inc.) factory stamp from Fair Lawn, N.J., active during Iowa's historic 1957/1959 Rose Bowl eras.
Details: Beautiful cream/white wool felt base with a stunning detailed illustration of the Pasadena Rose Bowl stadium. Features a separate canvas spine strip machine-stitched along the hoist.
Pennant 2: The Flocked "Fighting Herky" Football Pennant
Graphics: Features the iconic "Fighting/Running Herky" mascot variant wearing a leather helmet and cleat spikes, originally designed by Dick Spencer III in 1948.
Texture: The graphic uses a premium mid-century flocking technique, giving Herky a beautiful, distinct raised velvet "felt painting" texture that is incredibly soft to the touch.
