Nice Marc … I don’t know of another pennant in that general style …

Beautiful. One of my bigger regrets was trading that one away, as it never surfaces. Awesome example!

Thanks, guys. Here is the copy I've had for getting close to 10 years. I'll likely trade or sell at some point soon. It has a blunted tip and the top tassels have some dirt/staining at the tip. It's a bit more orange than the other (which I like). I know that ooo-ribay has two versions of this, with slightly different Giants font. And there is a version with the batter and parts of the stadium painted. I've only see it on Worthpoint.

Here is the painted one, that me, Ooo-ribay, and I'm sure several others would love to find. I think this Dodgers one may be the same maker. Probably Trench, because of what Oooribay calls the "cartoon" font for "Giants" that shows up on a few other Giants pennants.

Yes... I used to have a pennant string with mini pennants of all 8 NL Teams. The colored Giants version and that red Dodgers version (above) were both part of the string. So it's definitely the same maker. Another item I probably should've kept.

Marc, if you ever do decide to sell or trade that one with blunt tip/soiled tassels please reach out via email or PM!

Soooo…the Seals Stadium pennant with some extra paint was a mini? I kinda hope so. It would make it easier to live without it.

Never knew they made a polychrome variant of the Seals Stadium pennant! Funny, they never made a monochrome variant of its Coliseum mate.

The maker was indeed Trench. That same batter re-surfaced on a number of later pennants for the Dodgers and Giants. That said, the general look of these always struck me as a bit different from other Trench-made pennants from the late 1950s and 60s. Maybe a different artist's work?

Domer - unless I’m misunderstanding post #8091, that polychromatic Giants might be a mini(?).

[bocca001]

I've had that multichrome Giants pic saved for some time. Never thought it was less than full size, but maybe? It does have a black spine, which is different that all of the other Giants copies I've seen. Mark- any change you remember if the string was black? And how small (about) were the minis?

This wouldn’t merely be a different artist, but also the construction is very different. (The spine width, tassels, etc.) … night and day different from the known Trench L.A. Coliseum pennant from this period. Like Arnold and Danny DeVito in Twins …

I really think they used a different artist. The normal Trench stadium pennant artwork by the artist we're most familiar with illustrated each ballpark full of fans. These renderings of the Coliseum and Seals Stadium are empty.

But, the batter depicted on these two anomalies was re-used on other Trench pennants, so I have no doubt these are by Trench.

Here's a ca. 1960 photo of a vendor selling pennants outside the Coliseum. You can see the red-variant prominently displayed, along with the more traditional blue one (depicting a full Coliseum), along with other known Trench-made pennants, like that Pirates one. Presumably, this vendor bought all his pennants from the same company ... so, that would be Trench.
