Pennant guys, please help out on this Detroit Tigers penannt
I recently found this vintage 8 x 26 Detroit Tigers pennant. Upon a cursory investigation I couldn't find another one exactly like this one. I am not a pennant guy, so perhaps someone could help out. Any idea of the age and estimated value of this pennant?

Congratulations on your entry to the world of pennants! Its a terrific niche! Your pennant is a nice example from the late 30s-40s. It looks to be in VG shape other than that small hole in the banding and I would place a value in the $100-$115 range. If it was minty perhaps up to $150

That's pretty much the range Egner's book has for it as well with a designation of "rare". Same logo appears on one of my Princeton pennants.

Hey Jim - FWIW, 8x26" pennants are known as 3/4 size. By far the most standard size are the 12x29-30" pennants. "Oversized" pennants are anything over standard, usually starting at 36" long. Another "experts" may correct me, but the 3/4 size seemed most prevalent from the 1920s to the early 1960s.

Agree with Rob. 3/4 Size pennants were very prevalent in the 1940s and well into the '50s.
Especially for the New York Teams... Brooklyn Dodgers, Yankees, and NY Giants pennants of the 1940s-50s are pretty common. An example would be that Willard Mullin Giant/Polo Grounds Pennant featured recently in the main Pennant Thread. The Milwaukee Braves had lots of 3/4 size pennants into the '50s as well. As for the Tigers Pennant in the original post, I'd say early 1940s, and that Mike H. was spot-on with the price/value assessment. The hole at the bottom of the spine knocks the value down about 30 - 35%. Still a cool pennant! Last edited by perezfan; 08-20-2017 at 12:32 PM.

Thanks for the input guys! I bought it at a local antiques store with the intent of passing it on to someone here who would appreciate it. If one of you who were kind enough to post a reply here is interested please send me a PM, otherwise I'll probably post it on the BST side soon to give others a chance.
