Same here.

That '67 All Star is a pretty tough pennant. And a great one... the longest ever ASG with Tony Perez finally emerging as the hero with a bomb off of Catfish Hunter. Trench did a crappy job with the tassels though. They used those "crispy" brittle tassels that would break off if bent just the slightest bit too far.

I think the �69 might be just as tough �

Thanks guys. I think the 67 ASG is by Trench. Is that right?

Any ideas about the 69?

Both are Trench IMO

Domer � these two pennants seem to be of the same year and same maker. Wouldn�t this suggest a company besides Trench? The scroll graphic is so radically different from what we know to be Trench.

Used the extended weekend to add these to the basement gallery. They cover a food pantry, I did have 1980s pennants on them that I didn�t mind cutting up. Anyway, most of these are from the �sliding runner� pennant company - one that doesn�t get enough love in my opinion. Some of their graphics are actually pretty cool and they gave us the full body roster pennant.

It would actually be a cool display to have the sliding runner pennant for all 16 teams, but I don�t think I�ve seen it for either the Tigers or Pirates. (I have seen it for the IL Orioles.)

The bottom one from '51 featuring the double-wide scroll, in my opinion, was likely made by AMCO. They made a similar one for the '49 Dodgers.

The top one is a bit of an anomaly.... It could be from '51; but I don't think we can completely rule out '54 either (having said that, I can't recall seeing a Cleveland Indians AL champs mate/variant, can you?). As you know, my opinion is that Trench made this "insert stadium name series" throughout the 1940s and 50s. I based that opinion on two important characteristics in them: they were all 8" x 26"; and they were polychromatic. Unfortunately, this NY Giant pennant is full size and monochrome.... So, I'm reluctant to label it as being made by Trench.

Perhaps it was a knock off? If so, a knock off by AMCO? That might explain why the "NEW YORK" letter scripts look so similar. Or, was the concessioner at the Polo Grounds only interested in buying full size, one color pennants from Trench?? I have no idea.

But it's an interesting pennant.

Would you guys guess this pennant was originally white? It's a shame it's so hammered. Very unique look. If I were a D**gers guy, I mught have to try a little "restoration."

It was once blue. It would not have a white spine against white cloth. And the blue cloth on pennants of this era is notorious for fading to that drab brownish grey color.

Here is a different version with better color that I picked up pretty cheaply as it was torn in 3 places and had the missing tip. I did glue the tears so it looks a little nicer, but the tip is beyond repair. Still, the artwork is terrific.

Here�s the back of the Cindarella Boys, it�s sealed so I don�t want to take it out. The tassels are identical to that of the orange: thick and gray. Here also is the 1950 Phillies which is also full-size, along with a known 1950 Trench. They just seem so radically different in style.

Yes, interesting pennant and discussion indeed �
