102 year old pennant

I was in love with this pennant the instant I saw it, and had to have it, no questions asked. It is a beautiful 1912, heavy wool felt pennant. Approximately 17 inches wide at the top and 32 inches long (not counting the ties at the top which are all intact) it is in amazing condition for being 102 years old with only a few very small half circle holes along the edges. The stitching is machine done in bright gold thread. The gold felt has aged well into a nice dark gold shade. (all pictures can be clicked for details)

I have it hanging over the closet door in the office where it is away from all sunshine and has good airflow around it. This is one pennant I want to keep in great condition for the next 102 years. If I didn’t like seeing it so much, I would find a nice flat place in the house to lay it, but it is huge and I don’t have any horizontal place for it.
