Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

Just saw these buttons on ebay. Produced in Winona, MN (see bottom of card). Isn't that where Wincraft was? Anyone know if Wincraft and this operation were one in the same?

You are correct Sir!

Here's another Collegiate of Ames pennant by Arthur Evans...on ebay and not listed under sports stuff...cheap!

I don't believe this school exists anymore.

Spotted this on tonight's episode of Mad Men. Don Draper found it folded under the a/c unit, looked at it briefly, then tossed it aside. Later in the episode, it's tacked up on his office wall.

I thought maybe that was a studio prop because I've never seen a pennant of that style.....then I found it in Mike Egner's book . Kind of a goofy pennant IMHO.

I did the same thing as you and looked it up in Mike's guide before posting Could very well be both. Typically, they are very good with researching props that are appropriate for the time depicted on that show, but I figure they wouldn't be above reproducing one if an original was not readily available.

Hmmmmm....mysteriously ended, 4 days early.

The Mets is not a studio prop pennant. It's not that uncommon, and I recall seeing that one long before the show Mad Men was even a concept.

If the plot is taking place in the early '60s, I think they actually picked a decent Mets Pennant to portray.

I actually recently sold a Mets pennant like that on EBay last fall. It didn't have any staining, but it was the exact same one. I sometimes wonder where some of it ends up, but that would have been a little surprising.

Here is a simliar Syracuse one like the Omaha pennant. FYI that Omaha pennant was relisted.
