That's s great pennant Rob!
Far more scarce than its 1951 All Star Game "sibling". I had an itchy finger on that one, but am glad you got it! Probably another 5-6 years before another one turns up :cool: |

That is exceedingly rare, and absolutely authentic.
A group of those surfaced about two years ago on eBay. I was only able to land the Red Sox (Batting Sock Mascot) and the White Sox. They are distinguished by the unique logos and the Criss-cross stitching in the middle of the felt reinforcement strip... Not meant to accommodate a stick, apparently! Great post and great pennant. Only one I've ever seen in 25 years of collecting! |
Would love to see your two like it if you ever get some down time! Thanks for the info. Any idea of age? its made so oddly that I'm a little thrown off.
|
Circa 1951 or so. There were some really funky ones, including s great St. Louis Brownie. My stuff is packed away (recent move) but when I uncover it, I'll try to post some pics.
Lately I cannot attach photos from my cell. The "Manage Attachments" function no longer works for me. Anyone else having this issue? |

Thanks, Rob. I've never seen any of those...

Those are terrific, Rob! Darn, I somehow missed those but glad you got the Giants. I can see the Hispanic influence... Some work really well and some "not so much".
Very cool stuff, and I agree that oddball Giants pennant is indeed from the same series referenced in the original post. Take care, Mark |

I just picked this up...it was represented as a 1951 pennant. It is 3/4 size. I know the Brooklyn Dodgers used this exact same stadium graphic. Were there others? Also, does anyone think this pennant may be earlier than 1951? The NY Giants also won 3 pennants in the 1930's.

Right... Definitely 1951. I've seen a dated version of the same Giants pennant.
|
I have the Cubs version which I always thought was from the 1930s. Egner's guide identifies it being 1945. I must sadly report these are the only options for my Cubs.

Bay Area Pennants
3 Attachment(s)
Here are some pennants. I collect stuff related to the SF bay area, with an emphasis on San Jose and Santa Clara items. I believe that I am the only person in the world who really collects Santa Clara University items (winners of the 1937 and 1938 Sugar Bowls, and 1950 Orange Bowl). The Santa Clara Padres pennant is pretty rare... a one year team that happened to include Joe Maddon.

I'm not sure whether the purists would consider these pennants, but I haven't posted anything in a while and I thought some might enjoy my type five bf3s.

That Royal Rooters pennant is a killer. The color is so rich for how old it is. I don't think the wear takes away from it at all.

Fantastic pennant Steve. |

Nice Pee Wee Mark. Never saw that one before. Great thread guys. Been enjoying it. |
Picked this up locally. Don't know anything about who made it, but I've seen them on eBay and I've always wanted one. Like most well-made pennants, the photo doesn't do it justice.

Great Tigers Banner Scott...
I think that piece came in two sizes. Can you state the dimensions of yours (H X W?) It looks like the larger one. Thanks! |
Yep, its' the larger one. It measures about 20 x 30.
|
That's great Scott...
This is one case where 'size does matter' :rolleyes: Beautiful and rare piece... good stuff! |

I "think" this must relate to the Orioles in some way since it is black and orange, but either way I like it.

I love the Tigers banner!!!!

Mark-
Your room is looking fantastic....even if it is a bit D**ger heavy! :p Do any of you guys own this pennant? I've seen two in my lifetime; each owned by a friend of mine. One is bright red; the other a very faded green. I would have thought a few more from an "event" would have survived. Maybe if Seals Stadium had held more customers... |
Rob-
I don't have that one, but certainly admired it the one time I'd seen it before this. What a beauty. The room's progress has been put on hold, but do note... Every Dodgers pennant you see is Brooklyn. You will not see an LA pennant on the wall. I (begrudgingly) acknowledge the Brooklyn Dodgers as an iconic franchise, but that's where it ends. The 1970s Reds despised the Dodgers almost as much as the Giants did... Maybe even more at the time. The rivalry was intense back when the Reds were actually viable, and both teams were in the NL West. That was the Giants' "down time" era, but you've certainly had the last laugh in recent years. I may not live to see another winning season in Cincy :( |
Also... There will be some killer Giants pennants on display if/when I can ever get this project put to bed. Stay tuned!

Here's a Giants pennant I had never seen. 1.75 x 3." What set did this come from?
|

I think these pennants are uncataloged, circa 1950. There are five different leagues represented.

Good color but the tip is messed up. Could you imagine the furor if a baseball team came out with a pennant like this today? These Dodger pennants have to be the most politically incorrect ever...or are they?
BTW, is there any way to repair the tips of pennants or is that just taboo? http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/z...pswxfl8arc.jpg |
