Seals
Mine is stitched/embroidered. It looks just like the one in Egner’s book (p. 226 of the second edition). Features of the two seals on mine match the Egner book, but those in the online one do not. Just from the smell/look, it seems much older than 15-20 years. And the oversize (about 34 inches without the tassels) seems consistent with other pennants from earlier eras. The one on E-bay is 29 inches.
I bought this pennant several years ago on from a seller who had a three or so other old PCL pennants (I remember a Sac one for sure… also on page 226 of Egner’s book). They all sold quickly and were not cheap. I had wondered if the pennants were the exact ones from Egner’s book (as if a long-time collector was selling his collection).
As to whether the style (stitched) is consistent with the timeframe… I’m not sure. It would mean that the one in Egner’s book is not as old as listed, which would not be totally shocking. I can take some other pictures, although it is framed at the moment.
What was the time-frame for the oversized pennants?
