I love it. What a gorgeous example!!

Here's a company you never hear about. Been around over 100 years but never ventured into pro sports unfortunately.

You're right. Standard Pennant Co. made some beautiful pennants; but, most seemed to be for the high school market, unfortunately.

The pennant maker trade card that I posted last week finally arrived today. I’ve never seen another one before. Has anyone else?

have had these for some time and just came across them again. I would like help with id's. II believe the Brown and the Senators are from the 50's, not sure about the Tigers. The Tigers measures just shy of 3 3/4 x 7 3/4 missing tip. The Browns measures 4 x 9. The Senators measures 3 1/2 x 9 3/8 missing tip.

1940s, possibly early 50s, made by Ad Flag. I have them as part of a string.

Very cool! Apparently, this F. Vanderherchen was a local nautical supplier in philly. They made canvas burgee flags, like this, for use on ships. So the A's must've called on them in 1914 to make their burgee flag for Shibe Park after the season ended.

I'm aware of no felt novelty pennant resembling this. I've never seen their name associated with felt pennants or novelty souvenirs, so ... I'm guessing none was ever made on felt?

My guess is that this was a special piece ordered by the team from this company with the intention of the pennant being flown outdoors and needing to be weatherproof. It would be interesting, I think to see if there are any old photos of Shibe Park, where the pennant is visible.

A new arrival yesterday. Any guesses which pennant this origami mess is?
