Other Stuff...
Even though I primarily collect Oklahoma State items, sometimes I'm a sucker for

Provenance: The earliest account attributes the Rosenberger's Birmingham Trunk Company for the elephant association (as the University of Alabama's mascot). Owner J. D. Rosenberger, whose son was a student at the University, outfitted the undefeated 1926 team with "good luck" luggage tags for the trip to the 1927 Rose Bowl. The company's trademark, displayed on the tags, was a red elephant standing on a trunk. When the football team arrived in Pasadena, the reporters greeting them, including syndicated columnist Grantland Rice, associated their large size with the elephants on their luggage.[1][1] "Origin of the University of Alabama's elephant mascot and logo".

Unique vintage SEC conference mascot pennant string. The key to dating this is the Tulane pennant, as the Green Wave left the conference in 1966.
