Did someone say 1939-40 Reds stuff???

[jerseygary]

Never saw that pennant before - nice! Who did the road jersey belong to?

[Bumpus Jones]

Thanks. Obscure WWII era pitcher by the name of Bob Ferguson.

Me too.... Never seen another!

Although this same Batter image was used on the 1940 World Series Pennant (Reds/Tigers). Glad to know this Batter is a Reds' logo, and will post a pic of the WS Pennant when time allows. Just wish I could enlist Chris for his classy photo skills!

On point as ushe Mark

Love the pennants. I love flat items! I can hide them away from the prying eyes of my wife a little bit easier. I have seen Louisville Slugger pens floating around, and I thought those would be an interesting addition! I also like the fan flair!

I picked up a Bucky Walters letter on eBay maybe two years ago. When I got it, I figured out that Larry is the author Lawrence Ritter, who wrote "The Glory of Their Times." I was quite please to see commentary about something personal and of importance hobbyists within the context.

Beautiful Letter! What a different era, when people actually took great pride in their penmanship. I always loved Bucky Walters' signature.

As promised, here is the 1940 WS Pennant, with the same Batter image as Chris G's two great Reds Pennants...

[Bumpus Jones]

I remember when that puppy was up FS on feebay. Should have given you more of a run for your money

[perezfan]

I've said that more than a few times myself, haha...

Thanks for NOT doing that, Chris. It was actually my 6th or 7th crack at getting this version. There's actually a yellow variation of this pennant that I think looks a bit better. The Red and the Yellow versions seem equally rare...

But logic would dictate that the yellow was sold at Briggs Stadium and the Red was sold at Crosley Field. So guess I was fortunate, despite the long wait!

Found this the other day. I love seeing the Reds players next to other big name stars. The 1939 WS and 1940 WS put them next to elite level players: Joe Dimaggio and Hank Greenberg. This photo is the 1939 All Star game.

I enjoy looking at these older signatures, nice legible autographs on fountain pens.

Going back through this thread. Your McKechnie signed photo is spectacular. Great item.

Here's a sign that hung in Cooperstown for the 1953 Hall of Fame game between the Reds and White Sox.
Also a couple of gamers from the Big Red Red Machine and a Heinie Groh bottle bat.

A few more Reds items ( the second lathe bat is Kiki Cuyler with the Reds -- it's hard to tell because of some glare in the photo)

Nice Groh Mark!

Sorry, didn’t realize how bad that photo is of the three bats.
From top to bottom:
Heinie Groh Zinn Beck bat (Groh’s name under center label, sporting goods store on barrel)

That medal and especially that pin are amazing. The photos are not too shabby either.

I regretted not going after the one in Lelands as much as I should but another one popped up on eBay fortunately
