Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

I'd love to see a thread get started where we all post a pennant pic or two (every week until we run out :D)

Who knows if this might happen?....especially since I'm a new guy :p....but here's one of mine....thoroughly trashed but very seldom seen that I know of:

[batsballsbases]

Boy Mike Our Pennant Man is going to love you for this one.;);)

[doug.goodman]

That's a great pennant Rob.

Here's one of mine, it's a bit newer, but I like it :

[gnaz01]

[Scott Garner]

I picked this up at last year's National in Chicago and it's still one of my favorites of 2013. This is an exceedingly rare pennant of Johnny Vander Meer circa 1938. My thought is that it was perhaps sold at the All Star Game in Cincinnati.

I'm not a huge pennant guy in my own collection, but I do love to look at them.

[ooo-ribay]

Jackie

Nice! Is that one full sized?

Hey, Scott - it would be cool if you could somehow prove your ASG hypothesis (e.g. find a photo match). What dimensions are that pennant? It looks like the proportions are a bit different than most pennants :confused:

[ooo-ribay]

The only two Giants pennants (that I know of) that show SEALS Stadium, rather than Candlestick. The only difference between the two is the font thickness. I have always called this the "cartoon font" and it later appeared on some really good looking 1960s pennants...

[Bumpus Jones]

here's some of my faves...

[perezfan]

Great Reds Pennants! All 4 are really tough!

Terrific post!

[Bumpus Jones]

Thanks, Mark. Now shake the dust off some of yours:D

[ooo-ribay]

^^^^ Nice!

I really like the lower two. Here's a Giants pennant (that I don't have :()....it is very similar to your Reds example and one year removed. I wonder if the company did similars in 1960, 1963, etc....:confused:

[Scott Garner]

Rob,
I've thought that and I'm always looking for 1938 All Star Game photos for that reason. The dimensions of my pennant are 12" x 24". I'm not sure if that's unusual or not to be honest with you.

I just know I like it! :)

[perezfan]

Never seen that Giants variation... wow!

I thought the Reds had a monopoly on that style (there are 2 other Reds variations, albeit not as rare as the one above).

Here is my contribution for the day...

[ooo-ribay]

Those dimensions are rather unusual...your pennant is 2:1, length to width...most "full size" or "3/4" pennants are closer to 3:1.

I'll make it my mission to find that 1938 ASG photo :D

edit: now that I've seen Mark's 1919 pennant, maybe the 3:1 ratio is more of a modern thing. Mark?

[perezfan]

Here's another look at that rare "Cinderella Boys" Pennant. This one is in really nice condition, and about as scarce as a 3 dollar bill...

It came from a 2002 Mastro Auction...

http://www.legendaryauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=21686

I was under-bidder, and am still stinging 12 years later. Until Rob posted above, I had not seen another one since...

[lefty147]

Great pennants guys. Here are a couple of mine.

Cubs double sided
1942 Yankees
1940's Cardinals (haven't seen another one this style)
1952 All-star Game

Sorry I missed that... the 1919 Reds pennant is just standard full sized.

Scott's magnificent Vandy Pennant is a unique animal. Nothing quite like it, in terms of size or material (which is more of a cloth, than felt). Plus, it was originally attached to a stick in a unique way that really cannot be compared to anything else.

[perezfan]

Mike:

That All Star Game Pennant is going to kill me if I look at it for too long. Great stuff as always...

Now everyone stop posting, so I can get back to work.... major distractions here! :rolleyes:

You need to find another Cubs, so you can display them side by side ;). That is an awesome pennant. Have you seen other double sideds?

One more thing and then I'll let you get back to work....:D

Mastro mentioned "only surviving example"....this blows my mind. In the grand scheme, 1951 is not that long ago. You would think this pennant was made in at least some kind of quantity...100s? 1000s? Where did they all go? 1951 was a pretty big deal for Giants fans...

I got mine for $85, shipping included, on eBay. Would you have bid, Mark, or do you have higher standards? :p if I see something Giants I don't have, I go for it...pretty much regardless of condition.

[vintagesportflips]

The only double sided pennant I've ever come across was a great Athletics pennant I saw at show in the Philly area. One side had Philadelphia Athletics, while the other side had Kansas City Athletics. Wish I would have picked it up.

Here is my favorite Eagles pennant: A circa 1933 or 34 yellow and blue variety.
http://antiquesports.co/33pennant.jpg

[perezfan]

That's a great one Keith!

Rob:
As for double-sided... I have seen quite a few...

* Houston Colt .45s, updated to Astros on the reverse
* Boston Braves, updated to Milwaukee on the reverse
* Boston Braves, updated to 1948 World Seies on the reverse
* Philadelphia A's, updated to Kansas City on the reverse

... and a few others that I'm forgetting.

As for the Cinderella Boys Pennant.... normally I'm a slave to condition, but often make an exception if something is insanely rare (or is likely a "now or never" type of piece). That pennant sure fits the category. For $85, I think you did incredibly well. Had I seen it, I would have gone at least double to 3 times that amount.

But don't use me as an example! To someone who does not suffer from OCD, I would guess it's about a $400 piece in that condition.

Here is one of my favorites

[Joe Hunter]

Since the Olympics are about over, I will post my 1932 Summer Olympics in LA oversized pennant. Also my two favorite baseball pennants.

[jsage]

I will take this opportunity to show a couple of my very favorite pennants in my collection. Thanks for looking.
Jerry Sage

[batsballsbases]

Hi Jerry always nice to see your collection! And Rob Jerry doesnt have a Haller PM10 pin!:D:D

[MK]

Love the Joe Tinker Feds pennant!!

[lefty147]

I have seen a couple but I think Mark and Keith might have covered the rest.

[YankeeFan]

I shared this Mantle Day pennant on another thread a few weeks ago as a recent pickup, so I apologize to any of you who may have seen it there.

This one I've often wondered about...Is it a baseball pennant (White Sox)? It has a cloth AG Spalding label sewn onto the back (circa 1910's logo). Has anyone seen one like this in a ballpark photo?

Lastly, if you will allow it :), a Football pennant I recently picked up in an Antiques store. There was another recent thread asking if we ever find any good deals in Antiques stores. Like most of us, I usually don't; but this time I did!

Let's give it the old college try...

[bobfreedman]

Great pennants guys, I love the ChiFeds especially! Here is the one pennant I own. It is a bit rough but the only one I have ever seen.

[parker1b2]

Few mini pennants. Hope it counts.

[parker1b2]

Probably one of my first pieces of memorabilia way before I even started collecting. My father was given tickets to a World Series game in 1983 at Philadelphia. But I was 6 years old and didn't want to miss my rec soccer game(really wish he forced me to go). But at that time we had season tickets to the Cosmos and I was all about soccer. He gave the tickets to friends of his and they brought me back this pennant. Was hanging in my room all through my childhood, now it is proudly displayed in my memorabilia room.

I remember that series fondly. Gary Matthews played out of his mind!

[Bumpus Jones]

I really like the way you have the figures displayed with the pennant Mark!

[Bumpus Jones]

Jeff. I mean:o

[vintagesportflips]

Beautiful pennants every one.
Jack, I think the Chicago pennant is a University of Chicago pennant.
I had a group of about 10 nearly identical Spalding pennants that were for assorted colleges. They all had the identical tasseled string woven into them, and that attractive wavy cut to the felt.

[vintagesportflips]

Sorry for the small photos, but here is my Carlisle pennant with Thorpe-esque football carrier pictured.

[Duluth Eskimo]

Here is my favorite Eagles pennant: A circa 1933 or 34 yellow and blue variety.

That is an absolutely awesome Eagles pennant. Early football pennants are incredibly rare. I have never seen anything like that. Thanks for posting

[ooo-ribay]

Since the Olympics are about over, I will post my 1932 Summer Olympics in LA oversized pennant. Also my two favorite baseball pennants.

The Olympic pennant looks like it was printed yesterday!

The border on the Yankees pennant is crazy!

and your last Yankees pennant has the same "New York" as my Giants pennant......the Giant was retained for an SF pennant. I love seeing the similarities of disparate teams :D. Do I see a smiley face on the "bat with the hat" or is it my imagination? :confused:

[Mark70Z]

Anyone have any original Negro League pennants they'd share?

I have always wanted an original Baltimore team pennant from the negro leagues, but have not acquired one yet.

[vintagesportflips]

Thanks Jason.
Yes, I agree, NFL team pennants from the 1930's and before are very hard to find. I've been hunting for a Frankford Yellowjackets pennant for years.

[71buc]

There are some beautiful pennants in this thread. The only one in my collection that isn't common place would be this 3ft by 8ft early 70's Pirate pennant. Judging by the union sign stamping, heavy canvass material, and the weighted tip I don't believe it was a created for sale. I assume it was hung in or around the ball park:confused:

And speaking of attractive, your Carlisle Indians pennant has great eye appeal; as do so many others which have been shown here.

Beautiful! :D Do you know, is there an identical 10" x 29"?

This pennant may have been hung at a team function e.g. end of year banquet. Wherever it hung, it's cool. How did you get it?

Thanks, I stumbled upon it on eBay. The union stamping is similar to that I have seen on the 1971 World Series celebration street banners. I have always hoped it might be related to my 71 Bucs. My 1971 Pirate collection bows down to your Giants collection. I showed my wife your post and told her to quit complaining about my paltry obsession:p

[vintagesportflips]

Great Pirates Banner. Do you mind if I ask how you display it?
I have a huge Philadelphia Eagles banner that reportedly hung in Franklin Field that I have struggled to find a way to display. It is very large - approximately 9 feet long, by 6 feet wide at the left side. I hate the idea of using tacks or anything, especially since this is made of a pretty heavy canvas material, and I would worry about damaging/tearing it by hanging that way. I have spoken to a few framers, and they wouldn't touch it due to its size. My latest idea (although a bit ridiculous) is to have 2 large pieces of thin plexiglass made into a sort of giant screwdown case that I could hang on my wall. I have talked to a plexiglass supplier, and my plan was to have 2 large sheets made with screwholes along the edges that I could use to tighten the pieces together, thus sealing the flag inside. Sort of a ridiculous idea, but it might work. Anyway, here is the flag.

That's an awesome Eagles pennant. I have the same problem with displaying mine. Ironically I have considered the same Plexiglas solution. Let me know if you actually attempt it. I have seen Plexiglas shadow boxes used by museums to display oversized tapestries and quilts. I have to believe that would be too cost prohibitive for my budget. I have three large Pirate banners the largest of which is ten foot by four foot. I have all three wrapped in linen around a large cardboard tube. I take them out on opening day and display them in my office for one week. I have an understanding boss and 16 foot ceiling that accommodates their size. All three of mine have grommets that make it easier to display them without risk of damage.

I love both the Pirates and Eagles banners :D

I have my SF flag from Wrigley under plexiglas but your flags are much bigger. The Wrigley flag is "only" 3' x 6' and I got the plexi at a Sears hardware store. If you can get plexi big enough for your flags, I say do it!

[ooo-ribay]

Thanks, I stumbled upon it on eBay. The union stamping is similar to that I have seen on the 1971 World Series celebration street banners. I have always hoped it might be related to my 71 Bucs. :p

I found these on ebay...some similar, but not exact, standard sized pennants. Surely, old news to you.

and the b&w picture is what made me think maybe your Pirates flag hung at at team function (that and the "weighted tip"). Is the 2nd from left guy checking his cell phone.....30 years before they were invented? :eek:

[71buc]

Rob, thanks for info. I have a couple of those standard sized pennants as well. The photo you posted certainly gives me something to consider about the potential purpose of my oversized pennant. It also gives me something new to search for as well. By the way the guy texting looks like Ford Frick? Thanks again!

Mike

[thecatspajamas]

I'm not a pennant guy per se, but just picked up this photo in the RMY auction last night that I thought you guys might enjoy. It shows 1954 Cleveland Indians team officials taking inventory and getting World Series Souvenirs ready to sell at the ballpark, including. Hundreds of pennants including several with the stadium and others with the Chief Wahoo image as well as some New York Giants pennants poking out of a box too, not to mention yearbooks, stadium pins, visors and T-shirts. Fun stuff!

Love seeing the merchandise! I wonder what those pennants went for back then? A buck? :confused:

[andypcl]

Great pennants! I thought I'd post this flag I picked up at Mark Macrae's St. Leanders show. It takes a huge space on my garage at 7.5' x 4.5'.

Made by Hortie Van of Pasadena. It's double sided - I guess so that it read "left to right" no matter what way the wind took it.

Rob, I may have asked you about this one already and I know it's a long-shot, but if anyone has ideas as to where it flew, please let me know. Thanks!

[perezfan]

What a great photo... can't believe I missed that one. Thanks for posting, Lance...

Keith:
I think your plexiglass idea is perfect. That's about the best you can do, and I think it would be a very attractive/protective solution (without damaging the Banner).

Rob pulled it off nicely with his Giants Pennant, already. If you do go this route, please post "before and after" pics and let us know the cost. I have some over-sized stuff that might be good "candidates" for this as well.

[lefty147]

Great photo Lance.

[sayhey24]

Love that photo Lance.
I don't have too many pennants, but here are a few --

Greg

[sayhey24]

Here are a couple of my favorites. The small pennant is from Luke Appling Day with the pin attached to it.

Greg

[perezfan]

Nice graphics on that Albany Pennant, Greg... really captures that era perfectly.

Here are a few favorites from the teens... just to keep this thread going. :)

[Duluth Eskimo]

Mark,
Those are really nice and I don't think most people have any idea how rare early over-sized pennants are. Especially in that condition. Even if you had the money to drop on a collection like that, good luck finding them in the next 10-20 years. I buy and sell a fair amount of pennants and do collect Yankees pennants for my own collection, but even as a seller I have to say that is an incredible grouping of pennants some of which you may have the lone example. Thanks for sharing.

[perezfan]

Thanks Jason... yes, it's been a "labor of love" for quite a few years now :o

Completely agree... Having watched these so closely over the years, I think it's safe to say that they're drying up pretty fast. I believe that most which surfaced over the past couple of decades are now safely tucked away in people's collections for a while. The new finds seem to be turning up at a slower rate than before. It still tends to go in "waves", but the waves are getting a lot smaller!

[Duluth Eskimo]

You hardly see a quality vintage pennant at auction anymore. You have better luck tripping across one on eBay than finding a solid one at auction with the usual suspects.

[KrenBats]

Greg, absolutely love the Albany pennant.

I know I've shown this one before, but it's one of my favorites.

[mjkm90]

Great pennants! I thought I'd post this flag I picked up at Mark Macrae's St. Leanders show. It takes a huge space on my garage at 7.5' x 4.5'.

Made by Hortie Van of Pasadena. It's double sided - I guess so that it read "left to right" no matter what way the wind took it.

Rob, I may have asked you about this one already and I know it's a long-shot, but if anyone has ideas as to where it flew, please let me know. Thanks!

i wish I had some info for you, but I don't. The seller had no story?

your question lead to one of my own.....my Giants Wrigley flag is a white "San Francisco" on a purple background. The current Wrigley flags are an orange "Giants" on a black background. I'm 99.9% sure mine is legit, but when did they make this change?:confused:

[ooo-ribay]

Here are a couple of my favorites. The small pennant is from Luke Appling Day with the pin attached to it.

Greg

really cool! :D I love the white picket fence!

[ooo-ribay]

Here are a few of mine that I consider "scarce". The key word being I...LOL.]

Oh, I'm pretty sure you have some scarce ones there. Great pennants! I had to google Johnny Groth :rolleyes:

[ooo-ribay]

Mark,
Those are really nice and I don't think most people have any idea how rare early over-sized pennants are. Especially in that condition. Even if you had the money to drop on a collection like that, good luck finding them in the next 10-20 years. I buy and sell a fair amount of pennants and do collect Yankees pennants for my own collection, but even as a seller I have to say that is an incredible grouping of pennants some of which you may have the lone example. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree....Mark's collection is amazing. I have rarely had a chance to buy even ONE oversized, early Giants pennant and when I have, the money has scared me off! :p

[ooo-ribay]

Never seen that Giants variation... wow!

I thought the Reds had a monopoly on that style (there are 2 other Reds variations, albeit not as rare as the one above).



Mark and Chris-

This was the Reds pennant that really reminded me of the next year's Giants. I think the Reds was recently in an ITPC auction.

[Bumpus Jones]

That's it. Definitely looks like the same manufacturer. Good catch!

[sayhey24]

Mark and Mike -- so many beautiful pennants!
And Mike H. -- right back at you -- I love that George Burns pennant.

Here are a few more from me.

Greg

[ooo-ribay]

So, sayhey Greg....it looks like you specialize in player (rather than team) pennants :confused:

Those can't be easy to find!

[perezfan]

Yeah, those are really unique... you never see them. Great stuff, Greg.

Mike;
A number of those must be one-of-a-kind. I've never seen any other examples of the Cub wearing the Cap, the oversized/framed Cubs, or the Tiger Head above the Stadium. Really great stuff!

Also...
There was another Johnny Groth Pennant on ebay recently. Do you still have yours, or did it make it's way to the ""outside"? It is interesting, as we once thought it might be a "special" pennant, made just for him. Fascinating to ponder why they would mass-produce a pennant like that for such a common player?

[Bumpus Jones]

Awesome stuff Mark!

Here's a couple odd ball but cool pennants. I believe the Redleg pennant to be from 1958. It originated from the Los Angeles area. The last year the Reds were officially referred to as the Redlegs and the Dodgers first year in L.A. was 1958. Plus it has sewn on letters and measures 14" x 40"! I believe it may have been used at the Reds visiting hotel or something similar...

[ooo-ribay]

^^^^^ The Hotel Havlin one? How big is that and what do you think the wedge shaped wood was for? :confused: Very cool.

here's one that is kind of tough, but not overly so. There's one on ebay right now...

[Bumpus Jones]

Hey Rob. That's actually a horn attached to the pennant.

[ooo-ribay]

Hey Rob. That's actually a horn attached to the pennant.

Ahhhhh......how big is the horn?

[perezfan]

Chris...

Wow... blown away by those two, and have never seen either. Condition of both looks amazing as well. You see so much of the standard Reds stuff, that when something truly unique appears, you just have to marvel at it.

Thanks for showing it! :D

[perezfan]

Ahhhhh......how big is the horn?

That's what she asked! ;)

Hey Rob...

It may not be the only "61 All Star Pennant, but sure is a toughie. I would bet you have the whitest one in existence. These damned white pennants are almost impossible in that condition.

Very nice!

[Bumpus Jones]

Its about 13":p

below is a little paper pennant. The R/A is Roos/Atkins, an SF men's clothing store. As early as 1958 they were supporting the Giants, originally as Roos Bros. and Atkins.

Sorry for the small photos, but here is my Carlisle pennant with Thorpe-esque football carrier pictured.

http://www.antiquesportsshop.com/MusialPennantR1.jpg

Keith: What year is the Stan Musial pennant from .. its a neat looking pennant.
Phil

[perezfan]

August 4, 1968

[vintagesportflips]

Mark is correct - the pennant has the date on the end, but tough to see in my small image. I believe on that date a statue of Musial was unveiled outside Busch Stadium, and this pennant was likely produced for that event.

[perezfan]

It is a rare one, to be sure. Only one I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of pennants!)

Pre 1958 PCL pennants, with a few exceptions, are tough to find. Early PCL pennants fall into the "hen's teeth" category.

Here's one of my favorites: 1914 Sacramento Wolves. The PCL Sacramento franchise was re-named after manager Harry Wolverton for the 1914 season, and became the Mission franchise later in the 1914 season. 21 year old future Black Sox player Lefty Williams was 13-20 with a 2.05 ERA for this not-so-great team.

These pennants were made by collegiate of ames with flock raised prints. You may have seen a Brooklyn Dodgers pennant with a 3d wooden bat that was made by this company. Very high quality pennants. I believed each was air brushed.

The creativity died when Arthur Evans passed. He was the man behind all these goofy mascots.

Great article...

Ok, Evans is my new hero, based on that body of work and those creative/expressive logos. Of course some of his best stuff would be deemed "politically incorrect" today.

I can really see the resemblance of the college pennants to the 3D Dodgers/Giants Pennants.

His company was even based in my old college stompings grounds... Fullerton. In honor of Arthur Evans, I'm posting the photos below...

[lefty147]

Does anybody have a photo of the Yankees 3d version ?

[bobfreedman]

Mark, the Dodgers three D pennant is my absolute favorite pennant of ALL TIME!! Every time it comes up for auction (which it is few and far between) it goes for crazy money. Again I am impressed with your outstanding collection

[perezfan]

Bob:
I love it too... be patient... they turn up about once every 2 -3 years. As a frequent under-bidder, I am keenly aware of this :(

Mike:
Yankees is the toughest of the three, as you probably already know... I saw an image about a decade ago, but neglected to save it. Now I can't even remember it... a neat Uncle Sam variation, I think.

The availability ranking definitely goes...

1. Dodgers
2. Giants
3. Yankees

[dwr11]

I love this thread. Here is the large Minnesota Twins pennant. I no longer own this pennant as I sold it a couple years ago but it was a good 6 feet if I remember correctly.

Hey Mr. Krab -

thanks so much for posting that link. One of the main reasons I joined N54 was to learn and to educate myself. I have not been let down! :D

Until this discussion of the 3D pennants, I wasn't even sure they were "real." They are so amazing (and the ones I've seen have been in such great condition) that I thought they might be more recent fantasy pieces....but, apparently not. Maybe I'll stumble across the Giants version someday (in a small antique store!).....

How cool would it be to find this?:

A 1963 trade ad for Angelus shows more than 100 mascots, a Who’s Who of Division I giants that includes the Duke Blue Devil, the Purdue Boilermaker, USC’s Tommy Trojan, Oregon State’s Benny Beaver, the Georgia Bulldog, the Oklahoma Aggies, and many more. Even Pomona’s Cecil Sagehen—Oswald’s oldest rival—is an Arthur Evans original.

Thanks, Rob for finding that image. Even though it's blurry, you can see how incredibly cool that pennant must be.

[thetahat]

Rob, those two 3-d pennants are/were mine, that is the old floor of my basement. Same Giants pennant Mark has pictured (on my pool table). I sold the Yankees pennant about 10 years ago and kept the Giants.

I knew I had a picture somewhere but I thought it was going to be an all day endeavor finding it. As it turned out, the search took all of five minutes :D. I might have a better picture in an old auction catalog, but I'm not sure I want to open that can of worms. Mike, you're just lucky there was a Giants pennant with the Yankees.....otherwise, no way would I have saved it!

[lefty147]

For sure. Mark had told me about seeing the Yankees one a long time ago. It is just nice too see what it looks like.

Here's one I wish I hadn't let get away. The Holiday Casino in Reno used to have excursions to Giants games. The orange pennant was apparently from Opening Day 1962....Marichal threw a complete game, 3-hit shutout and Mays homered :D...too bad the owner wrote on it but a cool pennant, nonetheless.

I saw quite a few Cubs pennants in the thread but didn't see this one. In fact I've had a hard time finding it anywhere, I did a brief search awhile back trying to date it but came up empty. Part of the problem is its condition, I'm not sure what the original colors were (I'm guessing blue, but who knows?).

It was indeed blue. Too much sun over the years has turned it grey, as is typical for these blue pennants with the thinner style felt. For whatever reason, the thin blue felt didn't hold its color, unless very well protected/preserved.

Through the years, I have had many blue pennants that faded to gray. Below is far from the worst. I usually look for upgrades and sell the inferior example on ebay for whatever I can get.

[perezfan]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's a toughie. Nice example too...

I do the same exact thing... upgrade when a good one surfaces, and get what you can for the lesser example. I usually get killed on the deal, but guess that's the price you pay for being picky :o

Rob, this style is seen as far back as a '19 White Sox pennant, and others dated in the 20s and 30s. Eventually the grommets (which attached the tassels) were eliminated and the tassels were sewn on by a single line of stitching.

The Browns logo on that pennant is fantastic.

[Bumpus Jones]

Greg, you continue to amaze me with your overall knowledge of pennants...

Thanks Chris. I would think I can't hold a candle to Mark, I gotta believe his collection is the best. I am sort of a Rob Deer of memorabilia collectors, only collect pennants, and know absolutely NOTHING about anything else. I think I have an old Phillies program somewhere in the attic .....

[Duluth Eskimo]

We kind of just had this discussion with the 1936 Yankees pennant with this similar design. There was a 1919 Chicago White Sox version like this in the Halper collection and the newest I have seen is the 1942 St. Louis Cardinals if I remember correctly. There was a similar, but different 1944 Cardinals and Browns version as well. Very tough design in general, but you usually see the Cardinals versions more than others

[karamaxjoe]

This 1959 White Sox pennant isn't rare and fairly common, but I still love it anyway.

[seattlerainiers]

Here's an oversized pennant which I believe to be related to the 1913 Spokane Indians Northwestern League team. I believe that it is baseball team related, as opposed to just a pennant promoting the city, in that the "sunburst S" is also present on the sleeves of 1913 Spokane baseball jerseys.
The RPPC below includes future HOFer Stan Covaleskie, future Black Sox player Swede Risberg, and Ten Million, of Obak fame.

My Giants pennant on page 14, the Red Sox on 15 and all of yours shown above have the same "script city; 3D team name" font. As I'm sure you guys know, this fonting is the one thing that exists across a TON of 50s-60s pennants. There are some other similarities that show up between teams and cities....I'm going to post some more Giants pennants and I'm sure you guys will have similars of other teams....maybe we can figure which pennants were produced nationally and which were produced locally.

[Duluth Eskimo]

This is one for Rob in defiance of all the Giants pennants. It's a tough one that I have not seen before or since that actually has a piece of felt fabric glued or stitched at the bottom. Rob, hopefully you got the Giants version as I think the seller had the matching Giants one when I bought it.

The second is a tough Phil Rizzuto pennant that I like. A friend wanted me to send him a photo of it, but never got around to it. I think he will see it here.

The third is my favorite photo pennant. Another tough one to boot. The photo looks bad for some reason, but it is clear.

[perezfan]

Jason:
Those are all 3 insanely rare. I have never seen the bottom two. Especially love the Rizzuto, and didn't know it existed.

As for the '62 Yankees... I have only seen one other, and it did not have the "Giant Killers" caption. I do have the matching Giants Pennant, and it doesn't have a caption like that either. Great stuff!

DWR:
Love the Dodger Banners.... They really capture the era and look very cool. :cool:

[perezfan]

Jason:
Below is the regular (common) version of the Rizzuto/Yankees Pennant.

Also a much less common version, with blue fringe instead of tassels.

DWR:
Below is another cool earlier Dodgers Banner (from Jackie's Rookie Season...)

Rob:
Below is the Giants Pennant that I most regret selling. It's really rare, and is from Willie Mays' time as a New York Giant. I thought I might see another one turn up, but that's not been the case. :( Still feeling the remorse, but it went to a great collector with impeccable taste. He specializes in 1950s "Player Pennants", so it found it's proper home. This is the example pictured on the cover of Mike's Pennant Price Guide. I'm curious if you have this one, as it's about the only Giants Pennant I didn't see pictured in your wonderful collection.

I'll throw in one more Giants Pennant below... I sold this one 3-4 years ago, and haven't seen another with multi-color graphics. I believe this one to be to be fairly rare, too.

[doug.goodman]

Here is the 1965 version of the Dodgers pennant when they played the Twins.

If you EVER want to sell (or trade) that Dodgers / Twins, PLEASE let me know.

Doug

[ooo-ribay]

That is a great Mantle photo pennant! Here is the 1965 version of the Dodgers pennant when they played the Twins.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff219/dwr11/1965TwinsDodgersbanner.jpg


complete with dripping blood! Awesome. :D

[ooo-ribay]

This is one for Rob in defiance of all the Giants pennants. It's a tough one that I have not seen before or since that actually has a piece of felt fabric glued or stitched at the bottom. Rob, hopefully you got the Giants version as I think the seller had the matching Giants one when I bought it.



Great Yankees pennants, Jason. FYI, I'm a D**ger hater, not so much with the Yanks. That said, they are far from my favorites. ;)

So, the "Giant Killers" was glued on after the Series? That is cool...never seen it. I also have the Giants version in orange on black (reversed).

The bottom pennant is seen in other colors. I also have the red one. Don't know if the Yanks got "top billing" in the ones sold in NY.

[ooo-ribay]

Loved the description with this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MLB-Flag-Pennant-1961-All-Star-Game-National-American-League-1st-S-F-/221389951886?pt=Vintage_Sports_Memorabilia&hash=item338bde938e

"This item was rolled up and stuck in a drawer since 1961 and is in very good condition.

There are no Pin holes that I can see or stains.

Some of the stitching is not perfect on the flag end but it has not been altered or messed with in any way.

Thanks for looking and enjoy it as much as I have!"

i.e. stick it in a drawer. :D

[Duluth Eskimo]

That description is pretty funny, but I would rather see that than some of the other moronic descriptions from people that should probably know better. At least with that you know you should most likely be getting what you expect with no deception.

I believe the other Giants pennant I saw was your orange version. Very clean. You can tell that blue version you have is tough as well just by the manufacturing process or lack there of. Both very nice pennants.

For Doug,
Both DWR and I come across those Dodgers / Twins banners every once in a long while. They are tougher than the Yankees version, but not impossible to find. The hardest thing to find is either version with a good hanging rod with string that is still complete. If you want to PM me I can try to let you know if I run across one in the future.

Rob,
Here's one that's not quite a Giants, only a Giants farm club that still fits the bill with the batter.

Mark,
I found a couple of the tassel versions too in both colors. I have only seen red and blue. I had another of these, but I think I sold it on Ebay a few years back. I used to have the World Series version, but they are so expensive now that I ended up selling it. Have you ever seen any other tasseled versions other than these three? I have the regular versions as well so I just have always assumed that the manufacture put the tassels on a few to dress them up. Either that or they got a better deal on some closeout gold tasseled piping and went that route to finish an order. Either way, it looks nice.

[jsage]

Players Pennant Wall -
Mark - Love that Mays - I do not think we will ever see another one like it.
Appreciate very much that you let it go to me.

Jason - Thanks for helping me with what I think in the best example of the Jackie Robinson Portait Pennant. I have also posted a photo of the fringe 1955
World Series Pennant. Not perfect with coloration - it had a red pennant stacked on top and got caught in some rain - but in great shape

[Duluth Eskimo]

Jerry,
Those are fantastic. I finally showed a photo of the Phil Rizzuto pennant as well earlier in the thread. Better late then never I guess.

Jason -
The Rizzuto looks great.
Also, I have never seen another of the picture Mantle. Actually with as popular as The Mick was, you would expect to see more examples.
Jerry

[Duluth Eskimo]

All of the photo pennants that are not Twins are very rare. Most of the player photo pennants shown I have seen less than 5 of. I used to own a Reggie Jackson so I know there are at least two. I have only seen that one Clemente and possibly two Mantles. The only other one I have seen is the one pictured in Mike's book, but it might be this same one. I also know of one Hank Aaron with a b&w photo that I have only seen one of. Super tough though.

[jsage]

Jason -
I have seen some player photo pennants from the Angels. 1960-70"s era.

Jason -

Jerry

I had four Angels player photo pennants from the 60's that I sold on Ebay a few months ago. I have also seen two different Koufax photo pennants, Drysdale, Matthews, Spahn, and numerous (at least 13 different players) Green Bay Packers player photo pennants to go along with the ones Jason mentioned. I also use to own a Bill Goldsworthy North Stars player photo pennant to go along with my Jude Druin. I still own a perfect Carl Yaz photo pennant but don't have a picture of it with me.

Jason - that Mantle is awesome! I can't believe we haven't found another Yankee like a Maris.

Thanks for the compliment. DWR has had some very nice photo pennants over the years, but that Vince Lombardi banner is probably my favorite. I think it is probably the toughest as well, but the auction draw on that one would be crazy. Here is the Yaz you mentioned too. Not your example, but close enough. Jason

[dwr11]

That's the Yaz pennant I was referring to. Jason was able to find the Carew hanging pennant for me a few years ago and that one is not going anywhere for awhile.

[thetahat]

Probably my favorite. Not just that it shows a full-bodied astronaut, but that the astronaut looks like he is waiting for a bus. This is from what was probably the end of the run of Keezer pennants, perhaps right after the name change. Strange but very cool. I like the Keezer pennants, actually, they are identifiable by their very thick tassels, two-color designs, and double-stitching that doesn't come loose. And many are stamped on the back.

Keezer has two seperate Phillies versions, one of which is fantastic, picture to follow ...

[lefty147]

Here is another lefty batter type plus a couple of tough ones. Mike

[Bumpus Jones]

Mike: Nice pennants! Here's the Reds version of the last one you posted. Have you seen any other teams represented? Anyone else feel free to chime in:)

Rob: I don't have nor have I seen any other Reds pennants with that type of swinging batter...

[ooo-ribay]

There was a lot of discussion a few pages back about player photo pennants - most commonly seen, I think, in Twins, Cubs, Angels and Dodgers. When I joined this board a few months ago, I had just acquired a Giants pennant that had never been seen before by myself or my fellow Giants collectors. I got it cheap with a Buy It Now. :D

I started a thread on it:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=183102&highlight=previously+unseen

In the end, the seller told me this:

"The pennant is from the 1950's or 1960's it was in a storage room at WinCraft in Winona, MN. I received it from a relative who was cleaning out an old store room. I received it in 1982 but it is much much older. The other pennants with that look are from the late 1950's and early 1960's. For example I've seen a MN Twins pennant w/ a Harmon Killabrew card in it."

Mark (perezfan) told me he equates Wincraft with stiff modern pennants (as did I) but the company has apparently been around since 1961.

What makes it different from every other player photo pennant seen in this thread is the fact that mine is 30" long whereas all others seem to be 20" or 23". Mike Egner's book DOES mention a Mark Fidrych that is full sized...

[ooo-ribay]

Rob: I don't have nor have I seen any other Reds pennants with that type of swinging batter...

Mark posted three examples on page 16. ;)

Hey Greg - I love that pennant....especially your "waiting for a bus" description :D. I will have to search my collection for Keezer pennants....I have a few that fit the bill (the Seals Stadium ones) but I have never noticed double stitching or a stamp on the back. Do you happen to know where Keezer was based?

[jp1216]

My favorite! No tassels, but great team colors!

I don't believe the Fidrych pennant was made by wincraft or related in any way to these earlier pennants. I wouldn't get stuck on the full size difference with this pennant versus the others. Did you ever post a photo of the back of your Mays pennant? Every one from these groups is clearly labeled with manufacturer, etc.

All of the smaller ones are very rare and if this was made by Wincraft or a subsidiary, it wouldn't surprise me if they also made a larger one. Wincraft did make larger team photo pennants. The biggest problem is that a lot of these are almost one of a kind with little to compare with.

Btw, the Mays pennant is awesome in any condition.

[Duluth Eskimo]

I didn't see the part in your first thread about never having a photo. It would make sense that it originated in Minnesota, but the full size sure is strange as well as the original owner saying it never had a photo. Possibly some pre production piece that was never intended for sale

[perezfan]

Hey Mike...

Great catch on the Colt .45s also using that same Lefty Batter. That one slipped by everyone...

Also... I never realized that Jay Leno had a mohawk, and played for Milwaukee in his younger years. I do love that pennant, but the artist's rendition of the "Screamng Brave" Mascot doesn't exactly strike fear in the competition :p

[lefty147]

He does have some Leno features for sure.

My full size has nothing on the back :confused:. Also....yes, I've seen the full size team photo pennants but on those, the cut-out is oriented horizontally not vertically like my Mays.

I was just super excited to get this. My buddy and Giants collecting nemesis has two pennants that I have never ever seen another of. I finally got one he'll probably never find! :D



Also... I never realized that Jay Leno had a mohawk, and played for Milwaukee in his younger years. :p

throw him some "chin" music! :D

[ooo-ribay]

Great jobs on the "lefty batter" examples!

Here's another motif I think they used for many, many teams. I personally never liked these pennants....which is probably why I never upgraded this example. :rolleyes:

[perezfan]

Agree ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Those don't do much for me either.

Below are a few other rather generic series with motifs that were used by multiple teams. The last one pictured is by far the most common.

There's also another series with a large Batter superimposed against a Baseball Diamond. Can't locate any images right now, and don't have time to upload mine. But it's a pretty cool set.

[ooo-ribay]

same guy, but with #2.

[ooo-ribay]

I couldn't resist this pennant for $17.31 on ebay :eek:. I already had an example but the strength of the 50 year color is amazing....plus, there is MORE color in the stadium than in my other example. Check out the cable car....how often do you see detail..."Municipal Railway"...like that?

[perezfan]

That one is from 1964. I know because my Dad came home from Candlestick Park, and gave that very one to my sister. I always liked it because of the Cable Car. Your Pennant is probably in nicer condition (after 50 years) than hers on Day 1. A beauty, especially for that price!

He brought me home the White One with the Batter, and my brother got the Black one with the Horizontal Bat and Ball (both of which are pictured on your wall).

One of my clearest memories as a 5 year old kid!

No telling - could be a high school or college graduating year. I've seen cabinet photos with 'year' pennants like this in front of a group of people - teams, etc. The reason I bought it was because I was collecting autographs of the 1915 Boston Red Sox and thought it would be an interesting piece to eventually put on the wall with framed photos and autographs scattered around it.

But like most of my projects, it likely won't happen.

[tcornett]

Finally got around to taking some pictures of a few of my pennants.

2 of my favorite (non-Pirate) pennants

This one started the addiction (circled in red). My very first pennant.

Sorry, I borrowed your image... didn't have the time or patience to dig out mine!

I noticed this thread needs more Pirates, this should help.

Hi Rob .... Keezer was based in Plaistow, NH. They seemed to make pennants from the mid 50s to mid 60s. Only team pennants, none that are dated, none with scroll.

The font on the Athletics pennants is out of this world! I'm assuming Philly? What era, would you guess?

The team down south from SF had an identical pennant the following year....some had color added; some did not.

According to the pennant guide the Athletics is from about 1910. definitely Philly :) It is 3/4 sized with everything sewn on.

[seattlerainiers]

I posted these pics in the Japanese baseball thread too.

1. Here's a pic of a display I did in the late 1990s of 1949 SF Seals Japan tour artifacts. The Seals players were so showered with gifts by their hosts that they had to rent a cargo plane to bring it all back.

Sorry that the view of the pennant of the left side wall of the display is not good. Each player was given a customized pennant with his name sewn on, along with tour information. The silk flag/pennant on the main wall on top was attached to a car antenna in the parade that welcomed the players.

2. Pennant/Banner presented to Lefty O'Doul from the 1951 tour. Rough condition, but I'll take it...!

[ooo-ribay]

^^^^^ that is one beautiful display! :D

I wouldn't mind seeing single pictures of each and every item.

[ooo-ribay]

Here's another "negative" type. What would you guys date this at? The 6-panel cap should be a clue. I would have thought other teams used this image, but I haven't seen any.

[Duluth Eskimo]

I would say 1930's. I have seen some similar to that style from that mid to late 30's era. Might be a little newer, but not a whole lot.

[Den*nis O*Brien]

Adding to the Habana Lions previously shown...here are two more. I always liked the stitching and the manufacturer's tag. The SF Giants ceiling/wall display is terrific. Everybody has shown nice items. The Colt .45's really caught my eye. This is a fun thread!!

[perezfan]

Very cool Cuban Pennants. The embroidered graphics are awesome.

Agree that the 3/4 size NY Giants Pennant is from the 1930s. Always liked that one as well :)

[perezfan]

A few more Oversized, to keep the thread going....

[perezfan]

Some seldom-seen Bums...

[perezfan]

Pre-curse Cubbies!

[Bumpus Jones]

Amazing stuff Mark!

[Den*nis O*Brien]

A pennant showing the highlights of the amusement park including the home baseball field. Following the incredible items, shown by perezfan, this is a very pedestrian offering.
Regarding the Cuban pennants...Thank you perezfan for the compliment. The other 3 team's pennants always seemed to be very scarce. I've never seen a Cienfuegos traditional style pennant.

[lefty147]

Mark, Love that 1932 Cubs one with early Mickey Mouse look.

[Duluth Eskimo]

I completely agree with Mike. That 1932 is way cool. Never seen that one before. The other ones are great, but I always like to see new stuff. A couple of those Bums are tough too. Jason

I just saw this pennant in the April Pickups thread. The Giants really cheaped out when they later won the NL Pennant. Maybe they would have produced something better if they'd have known it would be 27 years until their NEXT NL pennant...:rolleyes:

[murphusa]

would guess it was an outside the stadium vendor from back in the day who had left overs from the season and he stenciled the champs on the pennant.

Not a official Giants pennant.

Emory university baseball pennant circa 1906-1908. 52 inches. I built a walnut box and inserted fine green-gray burlap wrapped liner. Front is gold frame from hobby lobby attached using brusso brass hinges. Attached pennant to acid free foam backer using invisible thread. Plan to use uv acrylic. Will ultimately hang above bookcase in man cave.

Now i just need a vintage uniform or photo to complement.

FANTASTIC job, Dennis! :D

Why the interest in Emory?

Just saw these buttons on ebay. Produced in Winona, MN (see bottom of card). Isn't that where Wincraft was? Anyone know if Wincraft and this operation were one in the same? :confused:
