Astros Colts
I'd love to find that Astros pennant. I found this Colts one on ETSY, which I don't usually check for vintage. For a pretty good price, from a Net54 member. It is listed as rare in Mike Egner's book (as opposed to extremely rate), but I've never seen it for sale before.
Speaking of the Colts to Astros switch, what do you guys think about the 2-sided pennant below (on E-bay). Has anyone seen it before? I have the Astros version of this pennant, but it is more colorful (colors other than Orange in the image). If vendors had Colts pennants that they then needed to change to Astros, it seems like Astros should be on the back.

Unusual Expos Pennant
Here's a weird one I picked up recently. A late 50's early 60's design for a team that didn't exist until 1969. 26" long and soft felt. Probably the most interesting pennant I've seen for one of baseball's least interesting teams.
Anyone have any insight on this one?

Truly, those are two enigmas....
The Colt .45s graphics should definitely be on the front side, since they came first. Cannot conjure up a reason why the Astros portion is on the front. The Expos Pennant may have been taken from old/existing stock. The gap between the Batter and the team name is very wide (and not the norm). So perhaps it was an unused generic "Batter" pennant that later was purposed for the Expos. I know this process was done (to some extent) back in the day, and is the only explanation I can think of. In addition, that same generic Batter Mascot was used for many teams, as discussed earlier in this thread. So it might make sense that a small left-over stash of these was retained for this very purpose (rather than wasted/discarded). That said, it's the only one I've ever seen, and is by far the most attractive and interesting Expos Pennant extant.

re: the Expos pennant...
I've seen that batter on hundreds of pennants but don't think I've EVER seen the large ball with "movement marks" around it.

Penguins Pennant
Picked up an insanely rare 1969-70 season Pittsburgh Penguins pennant.
I've never seen another one for sale in my almost 9 years of collecting hockey pennants. The second photo is an image from the Penguins first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff game in April of 1970 against the Oakland Seals. You'll see on the novelty items for sale page that this is the exact Penguins pennant they sold at the game during the 69-70 season for $1. This is how I was able to determine when this was sold. It's actually quite odd that this pennant is so hard to find. Maybe they just never made many of them for sale, or people just didn't buy them. Last edited by islesnut; 11-14-2017 at 11:42 AM.

Great Penguins pennant and your post is very timely. I was just about to pose the question: Does anyone have photos or other provenance of any of their pennants that helps pinpoint their origins? Very cool that you're able to connect the dots on this one.
I'd love to see what others have been able to find.
