Guest 0102291 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi folks. Hoping you can help. I found an old Rangers scarf whilst clearing out the loft today. It has "Rangers" on it and the years of Scottish Cup wins up to 1966 and league cup wins up to 1964. There is a lion rampant with a football at its head and also one star below it. I have no idea about it other than that it is old and isn't like the chunkier knitted scarves available today, more like a silky type material. Wondering if anyone had any info on the age of the scarf or its significance. Belongs to family so not too worried about value. Can send pics direct of anyone wants. All the best Bruce 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangersitis 0 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Difficult to age as nothing was won between 1966 and 1971. I can say with the utmost confidence that it doesn't pre-date 1966. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 All can say is I remember the sort of silk scarves when I was a boy. The lion rampant was used from 1959- 1968 so it would have been in those years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C.#Crest 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) These silky scarfs were very common in the 60's. Edited June 22, 2015 by BEARGER 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would think it was a commemorative scarf for winning the 66 Scottish cup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 0102291 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks folks. The crest looks the same just without the writing around the edge. All the best 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
