    Description

    Available is this rare vintage souvenir felt pennant.  Dated 1955 Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona with "The Watchtower".  The Desert View Watchtower, also known as the Indian Watchtower at Desert View, is a 70-foot -high stone building located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon within Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, United States. The tower is located at Desert View, more than 20 miles to the east of the main developed area at Grand Canyon Village, toward the east entrance to the park. The four-story structure, completed in 1932.  Pennant measures approximately 17.5 inches long, add 4+ inches for the tails.  The condition is very good for a pennant of this age, no tattering, graphics and lettering still sharp with no cracks or creases.
    Although not marked, most of these pennants from this era were made by the ‘Keezer’ company.  Visit my store to see the many vintage pennants I have available.  I am adding more as my time permits.  I discount bundles and shipping, ask me if interested in more than one pennant.
    Smaller pennants are shipped flat, otherwise all others are carefully rolled-up protected and packed loosely inside a box.
    Felt pennants represent an era of days gone by.  They are 20th century time capsules
    when felt pennants were popular and affordable souvenirs sold near public attractions and sporting events.  The decline in popularity along with rising material and labor costs have rendered them a thing of the past.  They have, however, become popular with collectors.  Good examples like this one are getting harder to find.  Newer pennants, up until they fell out of vogue, don't compare in craftsmanship and materials like this pennant- in other words- they really don’t make them like this anymore.
