Vintage Vanderbilt Pennant

Own a rare piece of early American college history.

This authentic 1920s Vanderbilt vintage wool felt pennant comes from the early era of collegiate athletics and campus pride. Carefully preserved and professionally framed, this antique collectible transforms nearly century-old memorabilia into timeless heritage décor.

Originally, this pennant was part of a sewn “pennant wheel” display, a popular decorative style in the early 20th century where multiple college pennants were stitched together and hung as wall décor. A photo of the original wheel configuration is included to showcase the historic context of the piece.

Each pennant is framed in your choice of Black, Light Wood, or Mahogany, finished with U/V-protective glass and a precision-cut mat to preserve the wool felt while highlighting its authentic vintage character. Natural aging, texture, and patina make every piece uniquely one-of-a-kind.
