Anyone Seen This Phillies Pennant Before?
 

There is a Phillies pennant coming up at a local auction that I have never seen before. I have not seen the light blue in the cap, and if the pennant is truly vintage it seems like it could be rare. The colors are very vivid, it almost looks like it could be a Mitchell and Ness throwback pennant, but in another picture it looks like the white strip on the right is worn.

Thanks,
Chris

These are nice pennants and I've seen a few over the past couple years. It's likely from the late 50s or 60s. Probably $50 ish if in excellent condition. I havn't seen these produced as a throw back likely because they are not super tough to find or particularly expensive as originals.

Agree, have not been reproduced with this graphic, origin late 50s. Nice colors

Mine is from the late sixties. I got it at Crosley Field (as a kid), and it does have the blue shaded panels to the hat. This one is a bit uncommon, but due to it's rather plain aesthetics, the value is only $40 - $50 in nice condition.

Edited to say I just noticed that Mike beat me to the punch on the value...

The one from the late 60's had the trademark symbol on the lower right hand side of the hat and the hat was plain in color. This is an early 60's one.

That MLB symbol came along specifically in 1969. Prior to '69, pennants did not have that symbol. I know this pennant was purchased in 1967 or 68... I lived in Cincinnati from 1967 to 1970, and if it was bought in '69 or '70, it would have the MLB logo. I have owned it continuously for roughly 43 years.

Perhaps it was "old stock" at the time, but it was definitely purchased in 1967 or 68.. even with the blue shading.
