Souvenir Pennants


For those of us growing up on the East Coast during the 1950s the names of certain tourist attractions were indelibly linked to a car decal or bumper sticker or a pennant hanging on a friend's bedroom wall. We associated these places with family auto vacations and even though they turned out to be far less interesting than we expected them to be they do hold a nostalgic place in our heart. In time the T-shirt became the obligatory travel souvenir but 40 or 50 years ago it was more often the pennant. We offer a modest selection of pennants from various tourist destinations.
