Interesting Red Sox pennant closed on eBay recently.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Boston-Red-Sox-Pennant-46-034-1920s-Baseball-Vintage-L-K-/231508205266?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e6f6ded2&nma=true&si=l4csgDf1hgoxaIezG6Xhr9aMWxw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Looks like one from a very old series; now have seen Red Sox, Cubs, White Sox, and Tigers with same exact style. All have a leather graphic; the first three with the same batter and the last one a tiger head. They are also "over-oversized" with double-thick felt sewn along the edges.
Wondering if anyone has seen any other teams that fit this design.
(Mark - thanks, you showed me the ChiSox pennant from that quilt.)
Could this be the oldest known "series" of pennants (loosely defined as different teams that were presumably made by the same manufacturer)? The only other I could think of are those "B.B.C." pennants that came up in that Mastro (?) auction ten years ago.
