Wowie zowie!

So, Mark (aka perezfan), are the 3D pennants Collegiate of Ames? :confused:

YES.... that is indeed the manufacturer, as evidenced by the tag on the reverse.

Agree... the 3D Giants is insanely cool. My favorite of the four 3-D Pennants, and easily the 2nd rarest (behind the Red Sox). Perhaps just as rare... I think I’ve only seen 2 of each... ever! :eek:

I think 3D Red Sox has to be harder to find. Up until that live auction a couple years back, I don't think anyone knew it existed. I believe Rick the pennant dealer picked it up, he has a pic of it on this thread. ... The Giants pennant I've seen once before in an eBay auction, it was missing the little baseball pin.

The open question is: are there any other teams out there besides the four? Surely there is an elderly person somewhere in Iowa who has the answer ...

I gotta imagine the Chicago teams to be out there somewhere. Iowa boarders Illinois it would just make so much sense especially since they produced a plentiful amount of Big 10 Pennants.

Amazing pennants Mark!

Speaking of rare pennants with both teams' logos depicted, here are a couple from 1914 and 1915, respectively.

The Overland Car Company sponsored an "Employees Day" those two years. They actually brought Major League Baseball Teams to Swayne Field in Toledo, to play an Exhibition Game in recognition of their factory workers. Prior to the game, the Players accompanied the Auto Employees in a "celebratory march" from the Overland Factory to Swayne Field.

Imagine a company today bringing in top stars the likes of Cobb, Crawford, Matty, Bresnahan, Bender, Collins, Baker, Tinker, Evers, Chance, etc. to accompany the employees. Those were different time, to say the least...

These pennants were given to the fans, to wave during the parade and at the game. I was extremely lucky to find one of each, and have never seen another example surface. If anybody has one, I'd love to see it here!
