Collegiate Mfg. Co. was always a very military-friendly company. I can't imagine they made any money on this particular design; but, given the customer, I'm sure it was their privilege to make this one. They made at least two variants of this design for the Navy: one for San Diego and another for Bainbridge Island, WA.

Great info...
Same artist for sure... and you're right. They probably sold very few of these. I can't imagine young Military Trainees spending their sparse expendable income on this (cool as it is). That must be one of very few survivors.

1955 Yankee/Dodger Pennant REA Auction
Unless there is something I do not see, this pennant was an excellent buy.

Completely agree Jerry...
Many people consider that one to be the most desirable and important post-war pennant. It has routinely sold for double that amount, and the consignor must've sunk a lot of dough into that framing job. It did not even have a bid until the final day! In addition, REA described it as having a clipped tip, but it is 100% original and complete. Every example ever to surface has that same style tip, as it was made that way. Consignor can't be very happy. Last edited by perezfan; 04-21-2020 at 05:29 PM.

Jerry...
I see exactly what you are describing, and truly believe that lighter patch of red is due to reflection of the glass frame. I have photographed these things countless times, and that's the exact type of reflection you just can't seem to avoid when photographing. REA is pretty meticulous with their descriptions, and did not allude to any fading of the pennant. I am 99.9% positive they would have mentioned it if it was indeed present. Heck, they even disclosed the "clipped tip" which was not even a real condition flaw! Let's call it a blunted Fishtail (as made).

(I will add that I’ve seen this without the squared off tips, the blue versions more than red but I’ve seen it red, too. Just production variability, that’s all. I think I may have even seen this completely squared off without the “notch” ... but my memory is vague.) Last edited by thetahat; 04-21-2020 at 06:35 PM.
