Seems like it would be "aesthetically challenging" to blend brand new tassels with an old pennant. The material and color would never be right. I'm afraid the tassels would stand out like a sore thumb. Plus it would (personally) bug me having new felt incorporated on a vintage piece.

I would find a beater with the appropriate tassels, to use for the "transplant". Just my personal OCD speaking...

Also... If you ever find yourself in a position to sell, these alterations should be disclosed. Nothing at all wrong with spiffing up pennants for personal display. But the "imported" parts should definitely be disclosed when selling.

I hear ya, Mark.

Definitely disclose if you were ever to sell.

That said, the remaining blue tassel looks pretty bright…I’ll bet you could match it. Michael’s, for example, has a big selection of 8x10 pieces.

Co-signed. Alterations should be disclosed when selling. Otherwise, it’s fraud.

That was my thinking too. I'd prefer the tassels to be "of the period". Certainly, it's something to disclosed when selling.


Rob, I like your idea but I know that my arts and crafts skills are pretty limited. I wouldn't trust myself even with cutting a tassel. (I still have nighmares about the monstrous ashtrays I made at summer camp.)

I hadn't seen this one before.

That Packers pennant is from a supper rare series of mini pennants, for both football and baseball (I admit that I could be wrong about having the same maker). I have only a pic of the 49ers and was lucky enough to get the SF Giants a few years ago.

I also have a Houston Oliers pennant from the series that is full size. I have never seen another. I remember thinking that these might be Keezer pennants given that the Houston Astros pennant is a Keezer pennant.

Great posts Marc...

I have a full-sized Pittsburgh Steelers from the same set, and it's the only example I've ever seen. Very similar to your Oilers.

Such an oddball (albeit attractive) set!

Marc those are awesome. Love the Oilers especially.

Anyone have any extra Baseball All Star Pennants with player names featuring Brooks Robinson between 1960-1974 (I have 1966, 1966, 1971 and 1972). If so, let me know at Charles.strite@yahoo.com

Pleased with this addition, got a good deal (cheap) on this oversized Yankee pennant 35.5 inches (pictured with a typical full-size), just about mint. Another just sold for a little more in auction in much worse condition. Gotta make a holder for it. It’s from that mystery NYC company we have yet to figure out …
