Hey, pennant guys

These are all cloth, with cloth spine, possibly 1967-68, who knows. They don’t seem like ASCO quality.

Good pickup, Eagle Eye. Although my moth eaten Busch pennant and the ASCO are not quite identical.

Interesting … yours is felt, too. Yeah it’s not exact as if they used the same screen, can even see differences in the Mets pennants. But it’s the same general design.

Read description, and zoom in on the spine.

He pulled it, which is good.

Someone posted this maroon 49ers miner pennant on facebook a few months ago and I've been hunting it down ever since. It arrived today, from Canada. Glad to add it to the group. It's the first maroon version I have ever seen.

Beautiful Niner pennants. One of the coolest pennants in any sport. Especially nice to get it with bold graphics.

I know this is a waste of time but does anyone have the Diamond of Elves pennant for sale that is clean? I can only try.

Marc, take a close look at the rear stitching on the second one from the bottom in your pic. Am I right that this is different than the others, almost like a double stitch?

That pennant and two of mine are like that, they also have graphics that are less sharp. You can even see it in the letters. I would think knock-off … except that one guy sold off a bunch of 3/4 size pennants that were similar and he bought them all in an old Trench box. More mysteries.

On another note, when I first used eBay there were a TON of mint 3/4 Trench football from the mid 1960s. Like there was a huge find somewhere. Now you never see them.

Hey Greg- that's a nice assortment, and I never noticed the different graphics related to the mountain. I will say that some seem much nicer (amount of color, number of different colors) than others.

It looks like your bottom copy is also maroon. Nice. I still need to pick up a red one with white letters. I've seen a number of those over the years and always tell myself that I'll get one later. But now they seem less common.

The pennant you asked about (with the gray spine) does have something like double stitching on the back.

I have one 3/4 size, and it has that mostly yellow tint (see attached).

I've also seen the yellow tint on green felt. Can't say that I particularly like the color combination, but I'd probably buy it if I saw it

Would you say the body of the pennant was “good”?

It’s actually back up, but without the description. The seller seems like a decent guy. It just looks very new to me.

I only have about 1-1/2 tubs of football pennants, but I have five of these. I noticed that there appears to be two different screens, not just differences in sharpness. Look at the tallest mountain. … One of these is odd in that the logo is mostly gold (as is the football outline) and the tassels are very thin.

Total reproduction. Paint is all wrong, and as fake as they come.

Even though the baseball looks like a basketball, at least the felt is triangular.

Slightly less nightmare inducing...

I’ve never seen that design before. I’ll be interested to hear how many have seen this one before and if there are other teams made with the same design.

I can see how the font of the TEAM name is similar on the bottom three but not on the Dodgers.

Can't thank you enough for changing the theme back to triangular pennants.

Those die cut "center dowel" creations were starting to depress me. Especially the disturbing and creepy Philadelphia Phillis Sextuplets.

That's a cool Pirates pennant. I've seen maybe 4 from the rare series, but yours is the first Pirates. Must've been made in very limited quantities. Would love to find a Reds version some day.

Your welcome. I got this in a group of 60's pennants on Christmas eve. I had never seen this type before and also thought it was a little basketballish
but with the stadium background, Baseball

I hate the Phil and Phillis
