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

^^^^ 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:

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:

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! :)

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...

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?

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...

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

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.

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?
