In the 1950's vacation travel was by car or train, rarely plane. Roads were two lane for the most part. Traveling the USA highways took you past motor courts, cabins, and lodging in homes with home cooked meals. There were very few franchises, except for Howard Johnsons, Stuckeys, some eateries and hotels/ motels. Souvenirs at tourist attractions were small priced items: pencils, snowglobes, felt pennants(flags). stickers, spoons, cups, salt and pepper shakers, plates, bandanas, and postcards. Mementos of tourist attractions, baseball clubs, cities and states were very popular. The felt pennants ( flags) were one of the most popular and colorful ways to remember your vacation! Tacked to bedroom or den wall, they were reminders of places visited and wonderful memories! THESE VINTAGE SOUVENIR PENNANT FLAGS WILL BE ROLLED FOR SAFE SHIPPING.
