Materials: Wool felt
Dimensions: 9.0" long (not including tassels) x 4.0" wide
Origin: USA
Era: 1940s–early 1950s (estimated)

A great addition to a pennant, memorabilia, or souvenir collection, and a meaningful gift for someone from Des Moines, or moving there.
We date this piece to the 1940s–early 1950s based on its construction, screen-printing texture, three-color palette, and lettering style — pennants from this period typically used only two or three colors before more elaborate palettes became standard by the mid-1950s. If precise dating matters to you, we'd encourage independent research.
