Collection of Rare Felt Prison Pennants
Not just sports fans and college kids tacked pennants on their walls. Maybe Baby Face Nelson did, too. These rare felt pennants with the names of America's toughest "pens" -- which may have produced either a "team spirit" or a good laugh in the "hole" -- have never before been seen by us. Believed to be from the '40s or '50s, they include Devils Island (red/white with "devil" figure), Sing Sing (purple/gold with con holding "Please don't Disturb" sign), San Quentin (black/gold with "Rock Pile" drawing), and Alcatraz (green/white with ball-and-chained con). Three have the original owner's name (perhaps an inmate) and the Sing Sing pennant has a curious stamping reading "Hitler." Make of that what you will. All pennants EX.
