Pre-War Los Alamos Ranch School Felt Pennants (2)

Two (2) felt pennants from the estate of an alum (likely 1920s) - one white on brown, the other brown on white - from the Los Alamos Ranch School (the pennants show a young man on horseback, and only the words "Los Alamos". Both pennants are felt with stitched-on lettering and decoration. Both pennants have all four streamers attached and intact. The brown-on-white pennant measures 34" x 14". The white-on-brown pennant measures approximately 32" x 13". The brown-on-white pennant has pin holes at the top and bottom of the hoist and at the tip. There is faded staining (liquid) on the left side of the pennant. The white-on-brown pennant has pin holes at the top and bottom of the hoist and at the tip. One of the holes at the top of the hoist has torn through the felt. The Los Alamos Ranch School (New Mexico) was a secondary school run on the model of the Boy Scouts. The school operated from 1917 until January of 1943. In November 1942, the property of the school was quietly purchased by the U.S. Army Manhattan Engineer District
