I picked up this 44" X 35" 1971 Pirates welcome banner (pic 1). I have a similiar 40" X40" street banner (pic 2). However, this recent pick up differs in that it is a light weight synthetic fabric and has no means to hang it. The version in pic 2 is a canvas material and is reinforced at the top with grommets for hanging. I have been told that these were hung around the city obviously to celebrate the Pirates victory. The seller of the recent pick up communicated that the banner was discovered in a home that was being cleaned out in Maryland. I have no idea what its purpose was. Has anyone else seen this version before?
