Vanderbilt Cup Races

The stock market may be going down, but the market for Vanderbilia appears to be heading up. Last week a 1912 Vanderbilt Cup Race pennant from the Milwaukee race sold for $5,209. This was a record Ebay price for any Vanderbilt Cup Race memorabilia.

A total of 20 bids were made for the pennant with two bidders offering over $5,000. This was the Ebay description:

Lucky find in a hidden compartment of a steamer trunk that was filled with other items from the same time period - this auction is for a felt pennant from the 1912 Vanderbilt cup race that was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Considering its age, this item is in fantastic condition. Please see all photos to get a better idea of the quality. The manufactures tag is still located on the back of the pennant with the following information:

Henry Schwartz

badges, souvenirs, college and fraternal pennants

15 Ann Street, New York

As we understand it, this is a very rare item and considering the date, almost 100 years old. Pennant size is approximately 26" long x 10" wide (at widest point).
