Can someone make context of this?
I understand the recent Boston/Milwaukee Braves 2 sided pennant that just sold on ebay but this makes no sense whatsoever.

I have seen this Black Hawks pennant show up before as the back side for another pennant . I do not recall the other side but it definitely wasn't an Orange Bowl pennant. Its possible the maker just used unsold pennant stock to print a new design to process a new request. The NFL and baseball season would have been over in January when the Orange Bowl was being played and the manufacturer could have been printing NHL pennants that time of year. A search of that year shows the Black Hawks finished dead last that year and maybe attendance was poor as a result.We'll probably never know . Maybe someone else can chime in about these oddities.

That would be my guess too. Leftovers, maybe returns or a batch some vendor never paid for. May as well use them up making other pennants, and maybe a Chicago vendor got a "deal" on Blackhawks pennants with other stuff on them.

I never believed the story about one of the car makers using metal that was originally Coca Cola signs until I saw one.

Say what?

It isn't baseball, but this is the only pennant that I have in my collection (and I love it). Can anyone tell me anything about this? Thanks.

ND Pennant could be as early as the teens. What are the measurements (height x length?)

[Jobu]

It would be awesome if it is that old. It is 35" long (excluding the tassels) by 12.5" tall.

I'm not expert on college pennants, but the size, construction, materials, and overall aesthetics all indicate mid to late teens. It's a beauty, and likely pushing the "century mark" in terms of its age!
