Banner/Pennant Info

cincicards · #1 05-13-2009, 11:45 AM

I just picked up what appears to be a banner of some sort, it measures approximately 9.5" by 12". I'm looking for a date of issue and value.

Thanks,

I'm not a pennant expert, I'm sure Mike, Mark or someone else will jump in tho, but it appears to be cut from a vintage pennant. As far as value, I couldn't even guess. If it was a whole pennant it would be worth thousands, but just as a cut out I'm clueless.

It looks as if it was cut from an early Red Sox pennant. Board member Mark S. has the full pennant. He can probably help you out.

Yep...cut from a pennant. I think Brock is right that it was a Red Sox pennant. Can't tell you what kind of value, but it's probably not much. That's a real shame, but I bet some kid did it 80+ years ago.

I didn't pay much for it, but it displays nicely. How big of a pennant would it have been before it was cut down, it's fairly good size as it is?

The pennant it came from dates to the teens and pennants back then were quite large. I'm just guessing but I'd say in the neighborhood of 3' long.

Yep... everybody is correct! This came from an oversized Red Sox Pennant from the early teens. The full pennant measures 37"... I'm currently on a remote computer, and will post a photo when I get bck home.
