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? |

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... |

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

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 |

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! |
Its about 13":p

Here are a few of my favorite college pennants.

^^^^ "Fighting Gobblers" :D
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. |
