Yes Rob, I posted that photo of the luncheon. That pennant is pretty rare, I have only seen 3 or 4 of them pop up for sale. I have several photos of the dinner, not sure which ones I posted before. Hers are a couple, and a photo of my pennant.

He had these Jimmie Hall and Bob Allison pennants for sale. I bought the Allison pennant because it was in much better condition. I haven't seen either of them before

Like Rick, a pennant guy's heaven.

Absolutely legit....

Just look at the spine. Common sense dictates that a stiff cardboard-like spine with perfectly straight rows of stich holes emanates from the 1970s or newer.

Contrast that with a soft felt spine with slightly wavy/curved rows of stitching that indicate pre-1960s. The imperfect stitching is a tell-tale sign that some overworked seamstress performed the task, as opposed to a post 1970 automated system.

Am I shilling this thread to 10,000 replies? Maybe.

[perezfan]

Pennants are cool.

I know the Orioles and Indians come up every once in a great while...but had never seen the Yankees. Apparently all from the same funky series. Anyone seen any other teams from it?

Who made that funky series? Green, red and yellow is quite the color combo.

Ad Flag had the market cornered on bad art and this company said "hold my beer".

[UKCardGuy]

I like them. I own a purple variant of the Orioles funky pennant. I've never seen the other 2.

We have another mystery manufacturer.

All that talk last month about world series banners got me thinking....

I just finished making these banners, er--towels. Read about them here on Pennant Factory: https://pennantfactory.weebly.com/bl...kees-v-dodgers

They’re gonna be talking about your creations 100 years from now! Great work, as always.

[quinnsryche]

Hello all. Can anyone give me some info on this Reds mini? Era, manufacturer, value. Need to sell but have no info.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

[ooo-ribay]

VERY minimal value.

[Vintagedeputy]

Saw this funny photo on a photo seller’s site.

[ooo-ribay]

A $15 pennant (tip issues). It's nice to find an ebay seller (and Net54 member) who realizes his item isn't the Holy Grail. My other purple one is monochromatic and has spine issues.

[bocca001]

I decided to "save" this torn and battered Seals pennant from ebay. Nothing too drastic. Just some very light fabric glue to keep the torn areas from getting larger and replacement vintage trench tassels for the bottom (also light fabric glue). I also have a damaged red/maroon one with the the player names written on the graphics. I can't seem to find a clean version.

It's strange to me that the green felt has faded so much (the back is much darker green) while the pink paint under the Seal has not.

[ooo-ribay]

Very nice, Marc. Green NYG pennants always seem to be faded.

[ooo-ribay]

a) is this website very slow to load for everyone else?

b) the Peaches pennant can't be vintage, can it?

Doesn't look vintage to me. The spine looks off and the graphic looks more iron-on than silk screened. Looks more like this 1990s issue.

Not “more like”….exactly like!

Seems to be rectified.

New pick-ups…Now to get the American League versions.

Love those. Nice pickups.

Two rare beauties!

If more people want to get rid of their “racist” mascot pennants I will be happy to buy them. Indians/Braves and Pirates have the coolest vintage pennants from that era.

Some new arrivals today. The 1978 WS pennant is a little incongruous against the others but I love it.

The A’s pennant is great and the colors on the 1938 (1938!!!!!) pennant are insane.

Awesome! You've been on a roll, Gary!

[batsballsbases]

Hadnt seen this style before. Picked up 2 of them. A little help needed on Approx. Year and a price. 9 inches... 1 has a nice tip and tassel the other not so much... Thanks Gentlemen!

Thanks Sean. I've been lucky... It seems like there's been a load of great memorabilia coming to the market in the last few months.

I'm not sure but they have the look of the 1940s to me.

[ooo-ribay]

Not UKGary quality, but I just picked this up. Cedar Rapids was the Giants' affiliate from 1975-79. Notable alumni included Bob Brenley and Chili Davis. Rob Deer also played there...he went on to hit 11 HR's with the Giants and 219 elsewhere. What's interesting about this pennant (to me at least) is that I have 15 SF pennants with this basic design (in white, black and orange) but SF never used the white outlined ball on any of those 15.

Rob, I'm always impressed by your knowledge of Giants memorabilia. The font for "Cedar Rapids" seems unique. Have other Giants affiliates use the same font?

Funny you should ask. I tried to post a picture of an SF pennant a few days ago but my Net54 access was blocked. Leon said it was due to new software, Waterbury was a Giants affiliate in 1977-78.

[bocca001]

Similar

[thetahat]

Recent pickup, a good friend tipped me off to this for sale. Tassels are continuous loops, I have seen this before with an Athletics pennant from the same time period. Clearly a different maker than the "B.B.C." Senators above it.

[bocca001]

That's a really nice pennant, Greg.

Thank you! Crazy to think, it pre-dated World War I.

[Domer05]

Wow, sure looks like a Repco-inspired pennant. But I don't think it's by them--it's just not printed as well as your Senators/BBC pennant, also from ca. 1913.
