Today they do not make pennants that require so much work and that are so unique as those made in the first half of the last century. In those days needlewomen were highly skilled and the clubs considered the exchange of pennants as a symbol of friendship and respect towards the opposite team.
In today’s global village, we can find more and more standardised and printed pennants, even though some clubs still exchange pieces specially made for important events (for example, centenary celebrations, etcetera).
I hope that this small summary will help fellow collectors enjoy my collection and suggest any ideas they may have for future exchanges. For any new followers of this peculiar interest, I hope that this great hobby appeals to them with the spirit of an amateur that goes with any great passion: collect for the sake of making friends and keep in touch with allied spirits, without a profit in mind.
