I do need to get my pennant framed better (I know, it's bad now!), and like the way Mark has his. Are those standard or custom frame jobs?

Would love to see any others from the 1910s and earlier if possible!
Scott,
You shoulda visit antiquesportsshop.com run by fellow board member K Javic. He has some great early pennants and a beautiful 1913 Harvard pennant that would be a great companion price to your other pennant.

Thanks - will do!

And Mark - thanks very much for the frame advice! I don't have Aaron Brothers in the Boston area, but there are similar stores which might have what I need, so I'll be checking it out tomorrow!

Regards,
Scott

Oh shoot... I thought Aaron Bros was everywhere. Well, there are other Frame/Craft shops that should offer identical goods/services.

Best of luck.... I second Scotty's advice to contact Keith Javic. He is a great guy to deal with (and always has terrific stuff in his web store). Please be sure to post, and keep this thread alive with any updates!

Rob:
That's an awesome array of Indians Pennants. Never seen the Dancing Wahoo on black felt, and it looks spectacular. That's a real toughie (in any color). Thanks for posting those!

Mark - thanks for the frame advice. We have an AC Moore crafts store in New England which has the 12"x36" frames for $28 (and a 50% off coupon in the Sunday Paper!).

So for $15 I was able to upgrade the display of my Harvard pennant. I have a custom mat being done as well, but while I'm waiting for that I hung up the framed pennant and it's much better, so thanks again!

Mike and Chris...
Awesome George Burns Day and 1913 Reds Pennants! Both could easily be one of a kind "lone survivors". Very cool...

Scott:
That looks very classy... best $15 investment ever! And it will look even better with the nice mat... great job!

Geez Chris,

That 1913 Reds pennant is the bomb! The condition is truly exceptional. It looks like it was made just yesterday, not 99 years ago.
Congrats!

Default Thanks for the idea

Thanks to this thread, I went to my local craft/frame store and found two poster frames on sale for $12 each. I added poster board as a background and framed my two favorite Cub pennants. Although not as old as the ones being shown, it does show how you can enhance your pennants for a small amount of money.
