• Details:  Such a fun pennant and extremely RARE!  It is from the Saratoga Springs Racetrack in New York.  It is a green and yellow felt with two Jockeys on Racehorses going for the finish line.  Above them it  reads:  "At the race track"  We estimate this pennant to be from the 1940's, based on several points: its construction, it is wool felt, the image style, the fact that it's only 4 colors (in the mid 1940's and early 50's, 3 and 4 colors started to be used). But we are not experts, if the date is important to you, please do your own research. This is a great addition to a pennant, memorabilia or souvenir collection.  Perfect for someone who loves horse and horseracing, a family room, kids room or a pennant, or New York memorabilia, collector.
