I believe this pennant is from 1945 based on the style. I have many of the Yankees versions and believe this version in the photo is the style from 1938. This was part of a group that sold all together and was described as being bought at the World Series. I have posted this previously as well.

Here is a photo of the back tag from this style that I have in my collection.

Here are two of the three 1937 versions. Obviously some condition issues with my “winner” one, but it doesn’t really bother me as much as it bothers others. Only the version with names has a tag on the rear.

Very nice Jason! Awesome Yankees Pennants, and it was great meeting you at The National!

That Winners pennant is so cool. Had it fit into my collection, I would have grabbed it, too. It’s a “bird in the hand” situation. In no way does it stop you from upgrading if you find a better one. That’s basically my philosophy for any super rare thing I want.

Nah….your A is a little faded. I kind of do like that pennant, though.

Here's some new arrivals for me. They aren't quite as valuable as Marc's Oakland Pennant but I was happy to get them at a more reasonable price

Nicely done. Especially the Yankees.

The red Trench Yankees is a cool and rare version and in good condition. Congrats! Also one of the better Ad Flags below it …

I agree with you, Jason. The style of Mike's Cubs pennant is more consistent with 1945 (not '38), based up its close resemblance to Yankee and Brooklyn Dodger pennants from the latter 1940s.

FWIW, I believe these Shear-labeled pennants from '37 and '38 were all manufactured by Trench and represent some of their first ever baseball pennants. Mike's Cubs pennant, perhaps from 1945, and also with a Shear label, strikes me as a natural evolution of that "insert ballpark name" artwork/series.
