Default January Pickups

Figured I would start off the New Year pickup thread. Happy New Years to all the board members.

First I picked up these 2 Eagles pennants that I hadn't seen before coming across them recently. The first one is a green version, that I believe dates to the mid 1940's. The second, is a blue pennant produced by the Ad Flag company of Chicago. I believe the quarterback artistically rendered on the pennant is patterned after the NFL star of the early 40s Sid Luckman (he never played for the Eagles obviously). With the blue color of this pennant, I believe this pennant dates to around 1940-41.



The next 2 items, my dad picked up recently, and he was curious if we could get some help here with dating them. The first item is a Reach bat with lathe marks that is a smaller bat measuring about 25 inches long. The bat is marked with AJ Reach Co - 87. The second item is a small baseball cap with no makers mark, with Play Ball and crossed bats on front. Any idea of the age of these 2?
