It's both actually! The fringe along the spine is real. The "fringe" at the tip is faux (painted on). Very unusual and desirable variation.

Here's one of the very few others (image formerly from Mike H) that has a fringe, rather than tassels. Must've been a short-lived New York thing

Mark - Thanks for "faux fringe" clarification.
Jerry

PS - I like the graphic used on both of our pennants showing the fans entering Yankee Stadium.

Another couple of "fringe" versions although the 1955 World Series is the clear favorite and extremely collectible. I've had one or two others just like this, but they are very tough.

Default Pennants with leather design
Interesting pennants in recent live auction .... large (40") Cubs and Tigers pennants from early 20th century, same style, with two color felt, reinforced edges, and an embroidered leather logo/design with details apparently burned (?) the leather. Tigers pennant is fantastic and I wanted it but got pretty high ... I actually have the Cubs but with the gold and purple colors inverted.

I wonder if this is the oldest known "series" of pennants ..... I've seen Cubs, White Sox, Tigers, and I think Red Sox? Clearly they were all made by the same company or person. And I am guessing they pre-date silk screening, around 1910. The leather (and added accents) seems to serve the purpose of providing details that embroidered felt (as in other old, non-screened pennants) could not achieve.

Anyway, doubt we can solve this mystery but I find myself intrigued by them ... any help?

No, I bought that maybe 10 years ago ... I think ebay, but not certain.

Have not been on here for a while. Really amazed at Mark's pennants. Kind of makes me drool!

What did the Tigers go for? &1100 doesn't seem bad for the Cubs. Maybe the somewhat generic nature held it back?

I think the Cubs went low because of the following...

1. Another one surfaced not long ago

2. Not quite as attractive as some other oversized versions (just my opinion)

3. Numerous moth holes scattered throughout the body of the pennant.

The similar Tigers version was more attractive, and was significantly better in terms of condition.

I think I won the other one to which you refer, it was an eBay auction. I think the moth holes were most responsible. Or so I hope!

Agree on all points Mark. I personally didnt find the color scheme very attractive or at all relevant to the Cubs. At that price point I want to be in love with every element of a pennant.
