This listing is for the 'Souvenir of San Diego Calif" banner you see in my photo. It shows Balboa Park, Mission San Diego de Alcala, and Ramona's Marriage Place. All 3 of those locations were very famous San Diego attractions.
The banner is not dated and since I purchased it at an estate sale, there was no one to ask about its age. I decided to research Ramona's Marriage Place to see if it is still in business and if not, what year did it close. Wikipedia has a statement that says it was sold in 1964 "to the Title Insurance and Trust Company, which then sold it to local businessman Legler Benbough, who donated it to the State of California in 1968". Going by that statement I'm guessing that this banner would be from the 1950s to 1960s time frame.
It measures 27 inches from the wide left side to the point on the right side. The left side measures 8.5 inches from top to bottom. It is made of a felt type of cloth material.
You'll notice in my photo that in the upper left edge area there is a yellow thread. I had decided to leave that and not pull it off and possibly damage the banner, but when I touched it, it was actually just a thread and not attached to anything. So, that thread is no longer there.
In my opinion, this banner is in wonderful condition. There are no tears, and no fading. Holding it up to a light I can see one tack hold in the upper left corner, but without holding it to the light I cannot see it.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Parcel from Nevada. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $5.75.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
