1930s Mini Photo Pennant

[aelefson]

Hi-
I recently acquired the Gehringer mini pennant pictured below, and I have a few questions regarding it. Has anyone seen one like this before? I am familiar with the 1910s bakery photo pennants, as well as the various player and team mini pennants made during the 1930s, but I have never seen one with the player's image like this. Any idea who made it? Are there other players in the set? Any additional information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan

Alan, I think these are c 1937. Don't know anything about them. Here is an old picture I have in my files of other samples.

Probably had to be issued sometime between 1930 and 1936. I have seen two of these, Lon Warneke and Billy Herman, both of them Cubs. Warneke left the Cubs after 1936.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the information. I am guessing it was a small promotion if so few are known today.

Thanks again,
Alan

The background of the images looks like a vintage popcorn box. Could these have been offered as a promotional item with Popcorn?
