It is a fairly rare pennant but, because it shows a fully enclosed Candlestick, it has to be post-1970. The one thing that sets this pennant apart is the fact that NOTHING about it (font, batter, pic of stadium) is seen on other Giants pennants, when most pennants either share similarities or show some sort of "evolution." The hanging tag probably helps its value. Would you mind posting a picture just of that tag? As for value.....probably in the $100 range, but half that or twice that wouldn't surprise me (on ebay).

Very interesting.....the entire piece (pennant, tassels, hang tag) appears to be one piece of "felt like" material (not felt). I just checked mine....this is a 3/4 size pennant. What else did your dad have?

The tag and pennant all being one single piece of material is indeed a positive. The tag was probably cut off of 95% of these (or more).

That said... Rarity doesn't always equate to value. To Rob's point, it's difficult to envision this one selling for triple digits, given the stiff felt and later vintage. 1970s "felt" pennants just don't command much of a following. So I'd estimate more like $75 (on a good day). Neat item though

I think definitely 70s. I collected dozens of these types of one piece, with sales tag, stiff "felt" like pennants in the 70s. I always just ripped off the tag and stapled it to my bedroom wall.

Is the pennant that rare then is it safe to value at 150-200 range ?

Meant to say I posted some of the back but it's clean on the back no wrinkles except the tag is on the other pic as well any other pics let me know this is exciting
