Rob ... Yes those are Collegiate of Ames and here is the tag on the back ...

I only collect hockey, so don't know much about baseball pennants, but what year are the 3D pennants from? Those are gorgeous.

There's no way of knowing but my guess is early 50s. Perhaps the scarcity suggests that they are older.

[Fballguy]

Just curious...Who out there collects football pennants?

Mark...I know you dabble in football. Who else?

And let's see some. 'Tis the season.

Rob

[yankeesjetsfan]

I just have that one Jets pennant I showed a while ago. I do want to pick up more Jets pennants going forward.

Mike

[Fballguy]

If I'm asking for pictures, I guess I should include one (or more ) myself.

Happy to recently add this...

[Duluth Eskimo]

Rob,
That's a great looking pennant that I have never seen before.

[thetahat]

My football pennant collection is rather modest, although my very favorite design among those I have is the 50s/60s 49ers pennant with the goldpanner panning a football. Classic artwork.

Pictured here is a very old red Eagles pennant from who-knows-when and a rare Raiders AFL pennant.

[Fballguy]

Thanks Jason. I had never seen before either but it gives me hope that there are others from the various regional all-star games of the times out there somewhere as well.

Greg...Love those pennants. Never saw the red Eagles before, though I have a similar one in the usual green. Not sure if the font or style of the team name is identical but the eagle looks very close.

The Raiders is in amazing condition. I always wondered what exactly is pictured on that pennant? Is it a QB throwing or RB running? Or Neither?

Rob

[Fballguy]

I should've mentioned, if you ever get tired of owning those, let me know.

[bocca001]

Here are some 1950 Orange Bowl pennants. I've only seen the first and second pennants one time. I've seen the third a few times, and there is another one with names (arranged more randomly) that I missed out on years ago.

Santa Clara defeated Bear Bryant's Kentucky team in the 1950 Orange Bowl. Santa Clara also won the 1937 and 1938 Sugar Bowl games. I've never seen a pennant from either of those games. If anyone has one, I'd love to see it.

[Duluth Eskimo]

Greg,
Those are incredibly rare as well. Nice pennants.

[Fballguy]

Great pennants Marc! Thanks for posting.

Here is the Eagles that I thought resembled Greg's red version. This is similar but different.

PS...Anyone know how to get an ink stain off felt?

[bocca001]

Well.... this is quite literally a football pennant. Although I am mostly a 49ers fan, the Raiders were much more fun in the late 1970s. I couldn't resist the football shape for $9.99.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Nice looking pennant at a great price.

Mike

[yankeesjetsfan]

Hey guys,

I came home The other night and found a package in my kitchen. I wasnt expecting one so when I opened it up I found a note from Rob fballguy and these 2 awesome Jets pennants inside.

Rob, thanks for the pennants, the friendship and the talks about NYC hot dogs.

Fballguy is a Goodguy!

[bocca001]

So, I got lucky enough to get connected with a Giants collector who is downsizing his collection. I was able to pick up these four rare Giants pennants. I'm especially excited about the Orange pennant depicting Seals Stadium.

[thetahat]

Great pennants Marc! I especially like the picture pennant.

Which brings me to another question for the collectors here… Does anyone know why some teams don't have any picture pennants from the 60s? I can think of two general styles although there are a few I've seen which are isolates knockoffs. Anyway I don't think I've ever seen a Cubs picture pennant, only one Mets before '69 ... no Red Sox either. Has anyone else?

I am personally trying to complete a Phillies "set" from 1960-69 ....

My pleasure Mike. You guys going to have a white Christmas? It was actually cold here in Texas (relatively) for the past couple weeks...even got a dusting of snow...but temps are gradually climbing this week. In the 70's now unfortunately.

Happy Holidays to all.

I don't know, Greg. In my experience, some of the 1970s picture pennants seem to be pretty rare, but command little money (less than more common logo pennants). I just picked up this 1978 Astros team pennant. Or, from my Giants collecting perspective, a Bruce Bochy rookie pennant.

[Fballguy]

Here's a rare (at least to me) 1970's picture pennant I picked up recently.

[bocca001]

I'm not sure that there could be a more 1970s pennant than that. Pretty cool.

I swear that picture pennant used to belong to me! The "pinback ring" in the lower left is the giveaway. Small world!

Hey Rob,

We might get a dusting of snow for Christmas. Maybe less than an inch. That could change though.

70's? I'm jealous, lol.

Mike

[perezfan]

Marc....

Those are all 4 great! Especially the Seals Stadium version that you made reference to. It's one of those that I regretted trading a few years ago (hoping another one would eventually surface). Has not happened so far, but good to see that you found one. It's possibly the SF Giants first-ever pennant.

Great haul!

[erikc21]

Merry Christmas everybody!

A few of my friends know I picked these up, but figured I’d share with the group. The condition of the football pennants vary, but there is a good bleach candidate in the Browns pennant. I hope to have better results than my KC Royals attempt...but it’s good to have one under you belt . Maybe Rob can hold my hand with some drying technique, too. Haha

The NY Giants pennant and program were a fun find!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Erik

[yankeesjetsfan]

Gorgeous Giants Pennant!

Mike

[Fballguy]

Cool football lot Erik. That Browns pennant will clean up nicely. I'll take it off your hands if you want.

[rlevy]

Does anyone know why there are 2 versions of the pennant below. They are identical except for the "1963" in the baseball. I can't believe they made 2 different versions like this (for the 2 different stadiums?), without any other differences. Both are always sold as originals, but is one a reprint?
thanks,
Rick

Someone just posted this in another thread, an interesting add with some pennants that have been posted in this thread.

Marc that's very cool! Thanks for posting. So those pennants were sold as a set, but interestingly only a few have the stadium graphic ... which of course raises the question why the Phillies, Twins, and Senators never had one ...

[yankeesjetsfan]

I would love to get my hands on a couple of the ashtrays, not just the pennant.

Mike

[Fballguy]

Picked up this pennant recently. Was being sold as a 1965 Toledo Mud Hens pennant, but I suspect it's older than that. The material does not feel 1960ish. Found a similar style Brooklyn Dodgers which would bring it in to at least the 1950's I'd think.

[perezfan]

Agree... mid 1950s. Neat design!

[bmattioli]

Terrible condition but bought for two bucks last Summer at one of the Fleas I attend:

If you could remove the team photo without damaging the part that shows, I would think this one would be a candidate for bleaching as others here have done. Then re-attach the photo.

Hello all, I just joined Net54 a few weeks ago seeking more information about vintage pennants. It's been a pleasure reading through 144 pages of informative postings dating back to 2014. I thought I knew everything ... but you all enlightened me on some pretty important findings. So, thank you.

Years ago I made the same observation RLevy just did regarding these two 1963 WS pennants. I own the "1 96 3" variation, and I am confident it's genuine. (It passed the smell test.) That said, for a 50+ year old pennant, I am always amazed at how this pennant is seemingly always being sold in mint or near mint condition.

Then I noticed the second variation's existence. It too is always in remarkable condition.

Naturally, I wondered if one or both were reproductions; but, found nothing that proved this for either variant.

Then I saw Duluth Eskimo's 2014 posting wherein he commented on a "warehouse find" in Los Angeles and then implied that a certain 1963 World Series pennant may have come out of a similar discovery.

Can anyone speak to either pennant's authenticity? Or, as to why such a minor variation might have been made for an event-specific pennant that seemingly wouldn't be sold anytime other than during/at the World Series?

I cannot answer your question with any certainty, but can report that the pennant shown here was purchased from a vendor outside of Comiskey Park in 1965 when the Yankees were in town. I would have to say it is original.

[Fballguy]

Bears in great shape. AFL All Star has tip issues but still looks nice otherwise.

[Duluth Eskimo]

That Bears pennant is in incredible condition. Super piece

[yankeesjetsfan]

Gorgeous pennants Rob!

Mike

[perezfan]

WOW to the Bears Pennant. Not just great condition, but very early!

Based on the style and the Uni, it’s gotta be 1930s.

[jester]

Some of the pennants I acquired last year.

[tony]

Beautiful collection

[perezfan]

That’s a bit of an understatement!

Really digging the Athletics, LaJoie and Bears Pennants, especially. But all are fantastic.

What a 2017 it was... congrats!

[ksfarmboy]

Love that 1912 pennant!

Oh my God, those Yankees pennants are amazing!!!

Actually, they all are. The Yankee blood in me got pumping when I saw those vintage beauties.

Mike

[Duluth Eskimo]

Nice pennants. I have some of those Yankees pennants in my collection too. I have always pondered the date of that green version. Can I get a consensus on what era people think? Thanks, Jason
