1939-40 NEW YORK WORLDS FAIR RARE LAST DAY PENNANT OCTOBER 27 1940
This rare 1940 New York Worlds Fair last day pennant was part of our huge Worlds Fair and Exposition Collection. We mostly collected 1933/34 and 1939/40 items but also have many pieces from much earlier to much later Fairs. We offered the entire collection as a buy it now on eBay with no takers and have since been selling it piece by piece. My husband, seller named Jal12147 and I will be listing pieces till it’s all sold.
This is a small pennant, 8-1/4” x 3-1/2”, and just navy blue printing on school-bus yellow felt. The words say it all, “I was there closing day Oct 27, 1940 New York Worlds Fair⭐️”. I’ve seen a few of these, all identical. I believe it was a last day give-away. This pennant is in pretty good used condition. There are tack marks in each left corner and one near the tip. This pennant hung somewhere for a number of years. The pointed tip is gone, like many antique pennants. There are a few tiny holes here and there. The color of the felt is good, as is the blue design, but this pennant does show some wear.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like some additional pictures. Thank you for looking!
