76.7% = a lot of damn football pennants! :p

[QUOTE=Fballguy;2174477]Looks great Marc. Interesting too that the Niners version is the only one that I can recall seeing in which the player graphic overlays the font.

Rob- I think that it is just variation in quality control. I've seen one without the spine/graphic overlay. Overall, this one is in great shape given the age, from spine to tip

There's 1,028 pennants on the site and I have about 250 more I need to put on there. Just need to make the time.

[QUOTE=bocca001;2174518]Actually...I was referring to the players hand overlaying the "S". This is the only version of the stiff arm pennant I've seen like that and all Niners versions look like this. Do you think that was intentional or a quality control issue? Maybe in the 40s, red felt only came in one size and it was a few inches too small so they scrunched everything up? :)

Ah... I thought you mean the spine. Had not noticed the S.

I did spend some time on your website today looking at all of the other 1940s pro teams with these pennants, like the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Yankees and Chicago Rockets. Seems to date these clearly to the 1940s +/- few years.

Yeah...I typically attribute them from mid 40s to early 50s. A lot of AAFC teams represented (1946-49) and there's a Dallas Texans version, who only existed for one season in 1952.

What are the teams represented on the baseball sliders? Do they help ID the years (e.g., Mil vs. Boston Braves; Browns vs. Orioles)? I know that the NY Giants have one, but not the SF Giants.

^^^^^ Is that pennant black? If so, I like it more than my blues….a lot more.

It's dark blue

It would look good in black. :p
