Double Sided Ali vs Foreman/ Aaron 714 pennant
Hello,
Im a vintage baseball glove collector who resides in the far south Chicago suburbs. I usually head to at least one flea market a weekend, sometimes 3 or 4.
I've posted a few times trying to sell stuff, but I'm a lurker. I like to follow the posts and learn, but have little to add. My username is the same on Brett's vintage baseball glove forum, I've had some cool glove finds the last couple years. Check them out.
Anyway, heres my addition to the thread. It's a double sided pennant featuring Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay vs. George Foreman on one side and Hank Aaron chasing down Ruth's HR record on the other. I contacted a fellow member and he said that pennants would be recycled if unsold, and that he'd never seen one like it. That initially made me think the Ali side had been reused to make the Aaron side due to the red strip of felt. A little research later i found the date of the Aaron side was before the October Rumble in the Jungle. It then dawned on me that if they were recycling pennants they certainly wouldn't remove the red felt strip and resew it on the new side.
Let me know what you think, stepped out of my comfort zone on this one.
I usually turn these finds into baseball gloves, still have a sweet uniform in the B/S/T section.
Richie
