Marc, great work. Oxy Clean works better than Retro for these? I tried Oxy on an old cloth pennant and it was a flop. I guess it depends on the material.

This pic will be tiny, I’m guessing (on my phone in Idaho) but apropos of the 1948 pennant, I guess Bill Veeck buried a 14’ x 20’ (?) pennant in the ground and it’s never been found. This is it:

That’s something else! Interesting to see the more modern-looking Chief Wahoo dating back that far …

Greg- I did not try the retroclean pennants. But the Oxyclean worked great with these stiff felt pennants from the late 1970s/early 1980s. No color running at all, even on an Astros pennant that had red graphics. I've heard that red spines might color bleed a bit, but I did not have any of those. These are all very stiff felt pennants. I've heard that oxyclean does not work well on older softer felt pennants because the paint can bleed.

Now here’s a note about the stadium pennants. Most, as you know, have a light yellow playing field. Are they made green and it quickly faded? Strangely, these Giants pennants (from the examples I’ve seen from Marc and Rob) seem to retain the grass color, and also many White Sox Comiskey Park (or White Sox Park) pennants have brilliant ballpark colors. But all the others have a yellow outfield
