I've been able to open the site I. Chrome. I got a message that the site is unsecured. That's probably because it doesn't have a security certificate. But when I clicked continue anyhow, all was good.

Love the Repco info Kyle. Thanks. Any chance that you can share more of the catalog pages?

John, if you like that one, you should check this Repco one out on ebay. It’s not mine. I don’t think I’m outing anything since it’s a BIN and clearly listed. Healthy asking price, but offers accepted. No Repco tag, so I think that is just a best guess. Could be another maker. I haven’t seen that catcher art work in their catalog. (Edit myself - I do see now that artwork is on Kyle’s site, so I assume then that this is a Repco.)

My apologies for the technical issues. Not sure if that's a Weebly problem or a Chrome/Safari/Edge issue....

Gary, I'll email you the full catalog. Anyone else?

Love seeing all those beautiful Repco pennants!

The technical issues seem to be fixed.Phew!

I also would like to see the whole catalog. Might there be an Ohio U. example in there? Probably not….too far out on the western frontier.

edit: maybe so, on Ohio U. I see Michigan, Chicago and Cal.

Kyle, thanks for the full catalog. What an incredibly impressive, extensive, array of art work and designs. I find it remarkable how few of these designs and art have ever been found, from my experience. I image that is because since they were so short lived, much of this was created in such small numbers, if ever at all.

Do you think Langrock and Annin adopted the same or very similar artwork as Repco? I had thought this Bear Pennant was possibly Repco, since it’s their artwork - but since Cornell did not introduce the Bear as mascot until 1915, (no existence of a Bear before that), and realizing Repco ended in 1914, it’s more likely this is Langrock or Annin.

Default Anyone recognize the Maker mark?
I shared this pennant many years ago, but circling back again to see if anyone now recognizes the maker mark? It’s probably the most unusual and unique pennant I have. I haven’t seen another. Some may think this young lady basketball player may not be the easiest on the eyes , but I found her to me remarkably detailed and beautiful. The pennant is 35”. Looks like initials N.P. Co. Any thoughts?

N.P.Co. = National Pennant Co. of New York.

Haven't seen any other pennants by them; but there is this sun visor by them reportedly from 1937....

Joe, I'm convinced your Cornell pennant is indeed by Repco. No-contrast spine + collegiate block letter outline font would be enough for me; but, additionally this bear artwork is awfully similar to "Brown bear," which was copyrighted in 1909 by Repco. See below. They used it (and several other bear/bruin/cub depictions) on many collegiate mascot pennants, so they probably just updated it a bit and used this variant on yours (in 1915, as you point out) when Cornell joined the bear family.

For more on their copyrighted works, there's a slideshow embedded within my Repco piece. To date, I've found about two dozen survivors exemplifying this terrific artwork.

Thanks Kyle, very helpful, as always. I was just thinking this could not be Repco when you said that 1915 is about when it appears Repco may have left the pennant market, and that you couldn't think of a Repco pennant we can definitively source to them after 1914.

The Cornell Bear came onto the scene when a bear cub from Maine joined the sideline during games in the Fall of 1915. By the the end of the season the Cub had completely gone viral, widely popular on campus. I assume the earliest this pennant would have been created is very late 1915 or 1916. So I guess this could be an example where Repco’s pennant making continued into 1915 or 1916. The investigation to try an pinpoint dates for memorabilia is always fun stuff, thanks for the help!
