I have posted this before, but back in the 80’s I was at a show when a large find of these was released. It was new old stock. They were $5 a piece and the dealer had at least 50. These aren’t tough to find and as Mark said you should be able to find one for less than $100. Still a nice pennant

Default Our friends Trench asleep at the wheel?
Picked this one up yesterday and noticed something odd. On the back of the picture, they designate a player as "Unknown". How can five time All Pro and Hall of Famer Henry Jordan be "Unknown"?

They also fail to name Ray Nitschke at all.

Just odd...to a pennant geek like me anyway.

That's so odd. You'd think the team at Trench would have access to a media guide or something that could help identify this player before they printed the photo.

I guess we have to remember what life was like before the internet....

I wonder if the teams provided the pictures for these. I can't imagine Trench arranged for a pennant photo shoot with the entire team...in addition to their normal, annual team photo.

Jason/Erik...Thanks go out to Rick Haskins for this one. Picked up some great pennants from him on Friday. Unfortunately, my wallet forced me to choose among many...so there will be some left if you run into him at the National.

Thanks a lot for the teaser, Rob...

Let's see a few others you picked up!

The unfinished Rams pennant (typically this is covered in facsimile signatures) and Raiders Stars pennant aren't from Rick. The rest are. A nice group of bootleg pennants and a phantom Cowboys SBXIII Champions pennant I hadn't seen before.

Good point, Rob. No, I can't imagine each team took a photo just for use on Trench's pennants--separate from their annual team photo. But, it does appear that Trench actually printed the team's photo, as evidenced by the Trench name on the reverse. They probably had to in order to create a photo that had the right dimensions; and, maybe on a material that was suitable for whatever adhesive they used to bond the pennant with the felt (tape, I think??).

Really psyched to have picked this up. Seems to be much harder to find than the Dodgers companion pennant - both were made without tassels.

Good observation about the absence of tassels on these two pennants. Both were made by Trench--a company that always included a pair of tassels on their 3/4 and full size pennants through 1970 or so.

Except in 1959 when making the NL and Al Champions pennants for the Dodgers and Sox, respectively. Never could explain it.

Do you suppose they ran out of tassels at the factory that week..?

Safe to say, this was probably the last time they asked an intern to identify the players.

And yes...tape. Really good tape. The predecessor to Gorilla tape I'm guessing.
