Simply AMAZING. This is one of those "difficult to valuate" pieces. IMO you have a top 10 in the hobby pennant in your collection. It is beautiful.

What can you tell us about where you got it? Did you have it framed?

Mike I just bought it yesterday from a friend (he sold it due to other purchases he can make) so I feel lucky there----he had it framed---and purchased it from someone in New Hampshire. From the comments I am getting , I do feel it certainly is in the top 10 of pennants---it could be a one of a kind. Nobody else has seen a pennant like this---I am so pleased on the nice comments I am receiving from this forum. thanks for your comments. Don

I am not a pennant collector, but I recognize superior quality, and that pennant personifies it. It does raise a question for me. I have the corresponding pin that references the "Soxs." Are there any Boston collectors or baseball historians that can comment on when that spelling first appeared and when it fell from favor? I also wonder if the pennant and pin were sold contiguously. Any thoughts?

That question is likely impossible to answer Paul, but clearly both were designed to appeal to that rabid fan base. The "soxs" was likely the slang or pet name of the day among the fans in Boston.
