    1920-22 UNIVERSITY Of ILLINOIS
    Fighting Illinois
    vintage pennant-banner
    !!
    Please see all
    eight
    photos, as they are an important part of my description. This absolutely
    killer banner
    is so large, I had to photograph it's entirety outdoors! This
    exceedingly rare
    vintage banner is HUGE and over-sized and measures approximately
    64" x 33"
    !!
    It was made by the
    Chicago Pennant Company
    ; please see a close-up of the still-attached maker's label. After some research on Chicago Pennant Co. labels, the label that's present on this impressive and outstanding
    Fighting Illini
    banner indicates it was produced in the very brief window of 1920-22. This
    century-old
    vintage woolen felt banner features the
    University of Illinois's
    school colors, ornate and interlocking
    "U.I."
    school letters and an impressive burnt-leather Illinois school seal. All letters and seal are stitched onto the banner. While I have handled many vintage college banners that were produced by the Chicago Pennant Co., this is the
    very first
    example that is
    double
    (and in some instances,
    triple
    ) the size of most others! The Chicago Pennant Co. produced over-sized felt pennants during this time period; eventually, the company reduced the large sizes of their pennants and banners. <>The
    University of Illinois
    is located in
    Champaign, Illinois
    .
    <>
    Condition:
    in simply *Stellar Shape* overall, exhibiting only very minimal age/handling faults....
    nice!!!
    The banner's colors remain strong on front and back!! The Chicago Pennant Co. label is nicely preserved!! The leather school seal is also in very Fine Shape as well, and remains very supple! This banner was obviously stored properly by its previous owner(s) over the years! Please check my eBay feedback and Bid With Confidence - I have Happy Customers with over 6,000 items sold!
