Great collection you have so far. I am new to the pennant game myself. I can tell you the guys here are awesome! so knowledgeable and very good guys to talk with. A lot of knowledgeable guys here. Ask a question and chances are someone will know the answer.

Have fun here, I know I do.

I am skeptical in regards to how authentic this Rangers pennant is as it is in pretty amazing condition and I've yet to see it printed on red felt.

I just received this in the mail today. Couldn't believe how great the condition was and spent enough on it. I love it, which is why I took a chance on it, I'm just hoping it's not a repo. I'm really wondering the year on it...1960s/70s I'm assuming.

And finally, my pride and joy. I absolutely love the aging of this pennant (I know, I know). I saw a similar one before this one and missed out on it so I had to have it once it surfaced. The seller said he believed it was 1930s/40s.

I'm new to the pennant game and I actually have enjoyed snagging some vintage of my favorite teams. I am preparing to get the framed for the man cave one day, until then they will hang in my infant son's room lol.

I have no reason to think any of those are not legit. MLB logo on the Rangers pennant would date it 1969 or newer. Not sure about the NFL logo but I think the time frame was similar.

I'm a Buckeye myself, but I can't confirm that as 30s/40s.

All three of your pennants are authentic. The Rangers is an early 70's design and a popular version of pennants right before they went to the "white" version for almost all teams.

Your Cowboys pennant is an early to mid 60's version. They also made this in a 3/4 size version, but the full size is the most popular.

The Ohio State pennant is a common style for the 30-40's in college sports, particularly football. Any early versions from most schools that show any reference to football are much scarcer.

All three a very nice pennants and in very nice shape. Good pick ups

Great news! Ya'll are awesome...thank you for the info on these. I'm really looking forward to getting at least the Ohio State and Cowboys pennants framed and picking up others. My next quest will be for a Columbus Senators or Red Legs pennant although I've yet to find any.

This guy, from a few pages back, is now in my hands. :p

Thanks, Brian!

Great pickup Rob...

That's a beauty!

Oakland Oaks, Pacific Coast League

Full sized, probably 1930s. Only one I've seen.

Nice! Do you think it ever had a "spine"?

I picked this one up last week

By the vintage pinhole marks, most likely not. I don't really collect or buy / sell PCL, but that is a really tough pennant. Very nice pick up. I have a few Mpls Millers pennants and they are tough. Anything pre 50's minor league is really tough.
