Great holiday story Joe. Your good deeds were rewarded and I'm sure she got as much a kick out of giving you those treasures as you did receiving them. 
Well done buddy!!!

She knows I collect pennants and vintage sports, and she was cleaning out her house with her grandson. She brought over these items she found in her house.
- Oversized early (1910s?) Prattsburg pennant: she says she had family in upstate NY.
- PM10 pin: her husband and one of her sons was a Cubs fan.
- USC pinback with football charms: she has no idea about this.
Nothing overwhelming, but I was overwhelmed and will cherish her sweet gesture.
