Your Washington Pennant sounds like a nice (and a very rare) one. Can you post a photo? There are lots of pennant guys on this forum who can probably help out, but a picture is worth a thousand words. There are not many truly great Washington Pennants out there.
Welcome, and when I have more time, I hope to contibute more to this thread!

Welcome Greg and thanks for posting! It's great to see a new pennant guy here.
James Spencer was also a pennant maker during the teens and 20s. I don't collect many pennants from the 50s and 60s, so I can't be of much assistance with manufacturers. I do recall seeing a Senators pennant from that season, but as Mark stated, a photo would help. I'm MUCH better with visual recall. On that same topic, I think I can speak for all when I say...Let's see some of your favorites from your collection and how you display them

here is one of my favorites
Hey fellas,
Thanks for your replies. I'll get a picture up of the Washington pennant shortly, I have to take one. I have a few pictures already taken of some others; here is one of my favorites, a NY Giants pennant with a "real" wood bat, ball, and googly eyes. It has a "Collegiate" tag on the back, and in fact I have seen some older college penants with similar 3D features. I used to have a similar Yankees pennant but I traded it away years ago. I'll have more to post in the very near future. Take care Greg

Fabulous Giants Pennant... and R A R E !!!
That is a real toughie, as I think maybe 3 have surfaced over the last 20 years I've been collecting these. Only the 3 New York teams had these 3D versions... Giants, Dodgers and Yankees. I would say the Dodgers is the most prevalent (still insanely rare), with the Giants and Yankees being tied for rarest. A Brooklyn Dodgers version with condition flaws recently sold for $2,000 at auction... It is safe to say that these were never sold at the ballparks, as there would be more of them available today. Plus, they are obviously higher-end and were more expensive to make. My theory is that these were sold only at Department Stores (Macy's Gimbel's) and perhaps at FAO Schwartz and/or other upscale toy stores. I guess we'll never know for sure, but it is a landmark piece, regardless. Please post more whan you have a chance (including the Washington pennant mentioned earlier... thanks!)

here it is
I am attaching a couple of what I think are my rarest pennants. The first is the '24 Washington pennant, very plain looking. It seems to be very close to that '25 Pittsburgh pennant I mentioned before, except that the latter pennant had a batter graphic inside the baseball. The second pennant is a minor league pennant of the Newark Indians from 1913, as I understand it they were sort of a minor league team for Brooklyn, owned by Ebbets. This shows some wear and is missing about 2" off the tip.
I am also including, for the heck of it, one of my favorite pennants (Astros), albeit not a very old one. I think this was a Keezer pennant although it does not have the stamp on the back. I'll post some more in the days ahead. Thanks for your input guys, Greg

The Newark and the first Giants ones are killers. Spectacular stuff.
Max Edited to add: the Washington one is unworldly as well. Last edited by baseballart; 12-31-2009 at 04:48 PM.

Awesome stuff Greg. That Giants pennant is truly jaw-dropping. And the '24 Washington pennant is beautiful as well. Thats a helluva way to start off on this board. Nicely done.
