{"product_id":"vintage-collegiate-silk-vanderbilt","title":"Vintage Collegiate Silk | Vanderbilt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Vanderbilt ribbon originates from the early 20th‑century period when the Richmond Straight Tobacco Company of Richmond, Virginia — now part of Philip Morris — was producing a remarkable range of collegiate textiles as promotional premiums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1910 and 1914, the company issued a celebrated series of fifty printed silks featuring American colleges and universities, each combining banners, seals, mascots, songs, and yells. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEncased in a clear plexiglass frame, the ribbon becomes a refined artifact: a slender but resonant expression of Vanderbilt’s identity and a testament to the craftsmanship of early collegiate textiles. For collectors, it offers a rare variation within the broader family of Richmond Straight Tobacco Company premiums. For Vanderbilt alumni, it’s a beautifully preserved fragment of the university’s visual heritage — understated in format, yet rich in character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nantucket Looms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52069299847451,"sku":"VANDER","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/1846\/files\/NantucketLoomsVintageCollegiateSilk_Vanderbilt.webp?v=1776360695","url":"https:\/\/www.nantucketlooms.com\/products\/vintage-collegiate-silk-vanderbilt","provider":"Nantucket Looms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
