I haven’t posted any pennants recently, but below are some I’ve obtained over the last few months.

Erik,
That Muskies pennant is incredible. I’ve never seen one. I don’t really look for Muskies stuff, but have some items. I pretty much stick to Mpls Lakers stuff. That Maple Leafs one is really nice too. Some of those used to have a team photo stapled on top where the box is. Others came without. Both had the same writing or print. Either way it awesome and in great shape for a white pennant. |
I love that Phillies pennant Erik. It looks to be in great condition. Very nice pickup.
|
Phillies pennant is extremely rare, and very cool ...
|
Very nice dude...Never saw that Muskies before. It's getting harder and harder to say that about a pennant.
|
That is a funky looking Phillies pennant. Love the Giants too.
|
Awesome Erik!
Two "toughies" and two "impossibles". And amazingly, all four look to be in great condition. Great post, and it's nice to be back talking pennants! |

The Phillies pennant is from a distinct but not yet known series, identifiable by a thin coarse texture to the lettering. The Cinderella Boys Giants pennant and the 1954 Indians with the names inside a baseball are from the same maker, as is this Browns pennant. They are all pretty tough and the Phillies may be the toughest.
|
Four great pennants, Erik! If you ever get tired of the NY Giants, I’m your guy! :p
|
Thanks, guys. I don’t know if you all agree, but finding rare pennants or ‘good deals’ seems harder and harder. Now, if I only had a display like Jordan!
Any examples of similar pennants to the Phillies and Browns series? |

Have a question, but first this nice addition, got a good deal for it. Tigers had such cool pennants and I loved how they often show the year. Also it is the first 1940-dated pennant for me. It led me to write down the pennants I have with years/dates ... my oldest dated pennant is from 1913, and I have at least one from 1939 through 1969 now, with the exception of 1952 and 1953. It then occurred to me ... I don’t think I’ve seen any dated pennants of any type from 1952 or 53. No dated scroll pennants, and I don’t think there are any WS pennants that denote these years. The Tigers dated their pennants up to 1951, I believe.
Anyone have a 1952 or 1953 dated baseball pennant? Curious ... |
There is a 1952 dated scroll pennant for the Brooklyn Dodgers with the Clown mascot. But like so many others, I sold it a few years back. One of about 25 that I really regret selling.

Amazing that you got a good deal on it.... prices are climbing fast, and seems impossible to win anything these days. Congrats- it's a beauty. |

I'm also partial to pennants with a date.
I recently picked up this 1957 Braves pennant. It's not the rarest but the condition was pretty good and the price was right. |

Okay who knows what the oldest known scroll pennant is? My guess is the 1939 WS pennant, I think Mark owns it .... |

Below is a pic containing the following year's World Series Pennant (also a double-scroll...) |
Here's the one we believe to be the first scroll pennant, featured 1 1/2 years ago in Hunt's...

What did the Brooklyn one go for? I get emails from most of the auction houses but only get catalogs from a few. I feel like I am probably missing things, but with my focus being only Giants, maybe I’m not. |

Even the estimate seems way low for a pennant described in Excellent condition. |

The 1939 Double Scroll Pennant sold for $900 + $157.50 (the 17.5% BP). Total price realized was $1,057.50
The Brooklyn Pennant sold for $2,000 + $350 (the 17.5% BP). Total price realized was $2,350 Prices realized do not include sales tax and shipping. |

Have "we" (Domer) established who made these? I have quite a few variations with "overlapping" characteristics. I'm pretty sure the batter in the big ball was previously done as a Brooklyn pennant.
BTW - my BIL PDF'ed Kyle's blog into a 349 page :eek: document. I can't imagine what the copy center will want to print it in color. Let me see if it's worthwhile and I could probably send it to anyone who wants a copy. I envision a binder, with tabs for each manufacturer. :cool: |

Interestingly, there's no New York Giants pennant featuring this moon-lit batter artwork; only San Francisco. As to the others, the problem, for me, is that those latter SF Giants pennants in your evolution don't really look anything like what Trench was making for other teams in the 1960s--especially as concerns stadium pennants. The coloring, in particular, looks like it was applied with water colors, or a very translucent ink. It's also quite vibrant. Most likely these are by Trench, too; but ... I guess you couldn't exclude a copy cat by some bay area pennant maker that only made Giants pennants, right? I just can't think of other Trench-made baseball pennants from the 1960s that resemble these.... |

The Browns one does appear to have very similar font. Besides the football player + stars, do you all think the font and the ‘dots’ after the city/name resemble the Browns or Phillies? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4cd96cea72.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
