This classic Vintage Rodeo Souvenir Pennant is a fantastic piece of mid-20th-century Americana, likely dating from the 1940s to mid-1950s.Pennant is labeled "OFFICIAL SOUVENIR RODEO" near the top and features a large, dynamic graphic of a bucking bronco and a cowboy rider—a timeless symbol of the American West.
A Look at the Design and Era:
Period Correct: The felt material, the classic pennant shape, and the simple, multi-color screen-printed graphic are all hallmarks of American souvenir collectibles from the 1940s and 1950s.
Color Scheme: The dark felt background paired with bold, contrasting yellow/cream and red graphics is a very common and highly sought-after aesthetic from this era, pre-dating the brighter, more modern designs of the 1960s.
Origin: While this souvenir lacks a specific city name (like Cheyenne or Calgary), such generic pennants were commonly sold at large, annual rodeo events or by popular touring shows across the Western United States.
This piece is a must-have for any collector of:
Vintage Rodeo Memorabilia
Western Americana / Cowboy Collectibles
Mid-Century Travel Souvenirs
40s and 50s Felt Pennants
