Hi all,
I'm sure you can tell by my post count that I 'm new here but I have been a long time reader.
I don't collect too much vintage, instead I enjoy buying items that are interesting and see what I can find out about them.
Usually with a few google searches I have some leads but this has been a bit tougher.
Picked up this pennant in the $60 range and was hoping someone here could help with identifying.
Is this a College pennant? Univeristy of Pittsburgh, maybe? I read that Pittsburgh had a 12 year period early 1900's when they did not recognize the "h", could this be from that period?
Thanks so much in advance for any help.
