Stopped at a garage sale today an picked up this Michigan banner and the lady thought it was from the 1950's. It measures 29"x14 1x4" with the center emblem made out of leather and letters seem to be burt in.

My parents met on the U of Michigan campus and were married in Ann Arbor.
The Chicago address doesn't have a 5 digit zip code, and the 5 digit zip code was introduced in 1962-3. This would support, if not prove, the banner being from before then. Last edited by drc; 06-01-2009 at 03:55 AM. |

Nice find Rob.
I just posted a scan of some Life magazines that I found at a garage sale the other day on the pickup thread. The magazines were 1957 to 1967. They have some really nice articles along with some great pictures of Mantle, Clemente & Yaz to name a few. Jantz |

That is a sweet looking U of M banner, nice find. I used to find some cool stuff at the Saline antique/flea market back in the day. Haven't been back since I bolted AA 15+ years ago unfortunately...

Paul,
Perhaps you want to clear up that by "AA" you meant Anne Arbor, and not Alcoholics Anonymous? (Or perhaps you don't.) |
