Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

Again ... if the winner is anyone on the board, I got a swell custom frame specifically for this pennant ...

It's been a while since I posted anything over on Pennant Fever. The past three months of sheltering-in-place has afforded me the time to write some new content. This week I posted a story on Keezer Mfg. Co., a fairly well known and much admired pennant maker based in New England. You can find it here:

https://pennantfever.weebly.com/blog.../keezer-mfg-co

Additionally, you'll find new content over on Pennant Factory, including a ca. 1960 Oakland Raiders (AFL) pennant re-make; and a ca. 1950s Collegiate of Ames "Mascot banner" re-make that both turned out nicely. See:

https://pennantfactory.weebly.com/

As many of you know, there's not a lot of places to look for information on these companies and their products. I rely heavily on you all for much of what I know. So, for those of you that contribute to this thread on a daily basis, or kindly allowed me to use your photos, THANK YOU.

This is great, Kyle. Thanks. The only thing I would add as to why I think people like the Keezer pennants is that the designs are often so different from other makers (e.g., Astros). Different design plus difficult to find (for some) makes them great to chase.

Question for the group. What's the best way to reattach a photo to a picture pennant? I picked up a small collection this past weekend and 2 of the picture pennants came with the photos detached.

This should do it - any clear glue stick. Not anything like crazy glue. It won’t show through to the other side. And I would only put a little bit on the edges or corners.

Also because they are well made, the stitching doesn’t come loose and this keeps the tassels attached. Nothing beats Trench as far as the designs, though ...

As I wait to see what else Fballguy found in his Spring cleaning, I'll add this photo (not mine) to the ongoing collection of old pennant photos.

That’s a great photo Marc

I hate seeing this thread work it’s way down the page, so here are my pennants from the under appreciated Boston Braves:
