Nice work Stephen. That's a gutsy move. Don't think I've tried cleaning anything that old. Good to know the water and/or RC doesn't harm the graphics.

Seeing that pic of the water gives me an idea. To enter the fraternity of hunters, one drinks the blood of their first kill. To enter the fraternity of pennant collectors, should we have to drink pennant water? Or maybe just draw a cross with it on the newbie's forehead? Thoughts?

Haven't posted a new pick up here in a long time. I watched this thing cycle through ebay a few times and was just floored by the lack of interest. Finally, it got to the point that I couldn't not buy it. $48.26 with tax and shipping for a 100 year old Ivy League pennant? 35" Long. This thing should be selling for hundreds not tens. I don't understand it. You'd think pennants would appeal to Ivy Leaguers of all people...but not so much.

Wow, what a beauty! And yes, where are the Yalies who should die to have this hanging in their law office? I picked this one up for $20, the only one going for it, and I had to wonder where all the other Amherst football players were. Ever seen another of these, Rob?

I love that style. I have not seen an Amherst version before. I have a few...Boston College, Holy Cross, Boston Latin. I'm starting to feel it might have been a Massachusetts maker? There is a Fordham out there too.

What a deal for $20.

Yes, perhaps a regional manufacturer. Do your others have the same image, for which this magazine cover might have been the inspiration?

That's so cool. Wonder who could have made them, and if there are other examples of a local or regional manufacturer who used the same image for a multitude of products?

An Amherst nodder just sold in the last nodderexchange auction for $3791

It was basically just just any other college nodder but with an “Amherst” decal.

Incredible! Was it a football player? I couldn't find it on the site, but they don't have pictures of the auction listings anyway. That's mind-boggling.

Run of the mill 1970s Double Bar Saints pennant but in it's original packaging.

Drumroll for the maker...

Drumroll continues...

"APSCO"

What is APSCO? Did ASCO become APSCO? Google APSCO now and you get hydraulic valve actuators.

I think we covered APSCO a few hundred pages ago on this thread ... maybe.

So these guys are actually still in business, today; still located in Brooklyn; and, still in the screen printing business (among other things). See: https://www.apscoenterprises.com/

Their company opened in 1979, per their site. Doesn't look like they make pennants--if they do, they don't seem to have any lucrative licenses from any of the big leagues to use their marks.

I have about 5-6 pictures of pennants in their APSCO packaging, identical to this one. Still not sure why they were branded, "PENNANT POST." (What does that even mean?) All MLB and NFL pennants from the late 1970s/early 1980s, including cheap reproductions of classic Trench designs from the 1950s. When I interviewed Mr. Storm (longtime Trench owner/president) I asked him about APSCO; and I think he indicated they were a Trench "distributor." I don't recall him being dead certain of this; but, we've got strong evidence that the two and single bar helmet pennant series were all made by Trench, so I'm inclined to believe him.

Here's a Steelers double bar helmet pennant in original APSCO packaging; with a JC Penny price tag still attached. APSCO must've specialized in department stores, so that may explain why Trench (a wholesale manufacturer that sold directly to stadium concessionaires) needed the help of a middle man to help tap into that type of retail market; and, why their pennants required a sealed packaging--something you'd never see at the ballpark.

#28 on this page (scroll down). No picture. Yes, just your basic 1960’s football nodder.

Thanks, Rob. How do you know without a pic? Or is the description--baggy shirt, toes up--that of a standard 60s football nodder? Can you shoot me or direct me to a pic of that style? On another "oddball" front, has anybody ever catalogued kewpie dolls like the one pictured alongside my Amherst pennant? Although the accompanying pins were more or less separate--hung around their necks or pinned to the body--their colors mark them as distinctive to the entity represented by the pins. In other words, the colors of mine are the Amherst purple and white, perhaps faded a bit, and I think the other kewpies I've seen are also particular to the colleges or pro teams of the pins. Not as nice or as collectible as bobbin heads, to be sure, but still vintage and seriously collectible, I would think. Just wondering if anybody has ever paid any real attention to them that you know of?
