Mark, the baby blue really is a distinct color from the darker blues above. Can tell from the back and peeking under the spine. The two on opposite ends of the bottom row are distinct.

I wonder if that "weak bleach solution" works on anything else? You could be sitting on a gold mine Rob. What's the formula?

That Jackie Robinson pennant is really nice. I can't compete with that, but I did pick up a monochrome version of this WGN Giants pennant. The WGN pennants from this era are usually so colorful. Hard to find one this colorless.

That's nice. I have a blue one with no color but it's the one with the 1958 date. Where'd you find your latest?

It was an ebay. My favorite part about it is the groovy spine.

That’s a nice pennant Marc. Probably the rarest of all those styles in blue and black.

I think that's an "end of the roll" spine. Great looking pennant though. He had a nice black and white Dodgers too.

That spine is far out! Have you checked to see if it glows in the dark?
You must have far greater patience than I do. The act of weeding through thousands of modern, common, beaten-up, and overpriced vintage pennants just to find a good one like that seems more overwhelming every day. It's become a "needle in a haystack" exercise in futility. In retrospect, I was fortunate to corral some good ones back in the earliest days of eBay (when the searches were a lot less exhausting). |

Mail day today! 2 months of hunting and bidding...
I'll spend the weekend sorting them out. I've put in an acrylic shelf like others have done. I'll add these to the rotation. The tassels on the Fenway Park Scroll are in an interesting location. The spine looks good. I'd be interested in thoughts/feedback on it.

Nice, Gary, especially the All Stars.
About ebay etc.... it is really hard to find stuff these days. Most good things sell right away. Within minutes. There were some really rare Raiders pennants a few weeks ago. The seller had them as an auction, closed, and then listed as BIN. I think they sold in about 2 seconds once listed as BIN. It was crazy. This Giants pennant was a BIN, and I probably bought it within an hour of it being listed. Most good things with BIN don't last even that long. Somehow, Jonsstats always seems to come up with rare and interesting stuff. Usually not for teams that I buy, but interesting to watch. |

Another lucky pennant (three bottom tassels). And an undated ‘54. Trench must have at least half a dozen different ‘54 versions.
I’ve noticed that the scroll font is usually one of two types. Before 1950 the names look neatly handwritten. From 1950- they look stenciled. This pennant has a mix of the two, mostly stenciled but some handwritten (Avila, Rosen, Doby, Mitchell). Last edited by thetahat; 09-17-2021 at 12:51 PM. |

Those are 3 terrific All Star Game Pennants. With regard to the Fenway Pennant, that may be the closest-together set of tassels I've ever seen on a vintage pennant. The Mitchell & Ness reproductions very often have sets of tassels that are closer together than normall. But nothing close to the Fenway pennant you posted. I'm guessing the laborer was either intoxicated, very tired, or perhaps just messing around to construct it that way. Very bizarre, but a cool find none-the-less! |

Erik, I love that Indians pennant. I like pennants that I can date. There's another similar Indians scroll pennant that I was confusing with yours. This one is from 1950. I don't own this one - but I'd love to. I can date it by the last player on the scroll - Hal Saltzman. He played in the minors from 1947-49 and then picked up by the Indians for the 1950 season but never made it into a game. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Hal_Saltzman

Does anyone have any period pennants which show Ty Cobb on it? I haven’t searched this long thread and sorry if one was showed earlier.

This one appears to have been removed from some kind of display. There was also a McGraw that had the same trimming and stitch holes.

Thanks for posting. I’ve never owned a Ty Cobb pennant before and I want to add one for the collection. I didn’t realize there were a couple options.

I can see font differences from pennant to pennant but not within the same scroll….

I noticed it looks more teal blue in the listing. Your pic looks green. Which is more accurate?

thanks Rob. I also thought it was teal blue also, but it is green, front and back. 12 games to go, could be pretty exciting.

I love the green….especially with the aqua and the yellow. Your pennant is in pretty amazing condition.

The addition of those 2 Brooklyn Bum pennants must give you a pretty good collection of colorful bums. How many sets do you have of those? I don't have any yet myself, time to pick one up somewhere.

That’s good that you can protect that pennant from UV. The rarity and the condition really make it one of a kind. You got a great deal, I could see that going for 10 grand in a private auction … Last edited by thetahat; 09-21-2021 at 02:16 PM. |

You might be right on the value of the pennant, but I am certain it wouldn't get $10k if I were the consignor.

So I’ve seen four pennants of the above style, which I do believe were WGNs:
Robinson Doby Paige Luke Easter? I think I have seen Easter before but a Google search pulls up nothing. Cool how they did this for the early African American players, I wonder if there are any others. |

Right, the 1st baseman version is from 1947, the 2nd baseman from (1948) and later, which he was moved to in order to make room for Gil Hodges. I have seen the 1947 version in both green and red, but the 1948 only in red, and it hasn't popped up for sale very often.

I also have a Don Newcombe pennant that may or may not be made by WGN, and same thing for a Pee Wee Reese (which is 3/4 size). And yes, the Luke Easter is definitely WGN (it looks just like the Paige pennant) |

Mark your Newcombe pennant is awesome. I scrolled back and found it (post #231). Don’t know of another vintage pennant with a facsimile autograph. I think it’s from another unknown company, it resembles the Yankees and Red Sox roster pennants that are from that era. The letters are a dead giveaway.

I just picked this up from JR. I'm surprised he didn't mention that it has "GREAT EYE APPEAL"
This sort of fits in my Giants collection because the Giants played the Orions every spring from 1970-72. In 1971, the Orions conducted their entire Spring Training in AZ (a first) and ended with a game against the Angels in Anaheim and then two vs. the Giants in Candlestick. I would imagine the red, white and blue, with stars, was a nod to their American experience. This pennant is unlike anything we usually see - sewn on color panels and die cut lettering. I like it.

Rob- I almost bid on that Orions pennant, mostly because they owned (I think) and had players play on the 1972 (I think) California League team from Lodi (Lodi Orions). Did not know about the Giants connection. Glad you got it. The colors seem to be a clear match with that 1971 program.
