Marc that's very cool! Thanks for posting. So those pennants were sold as a set, but interestingly only a few have the stadium graphic ... which of course raises the question why the Phillies, Twins, and Senators never had one ...

I would love to get my hands on a couple of the ashtrays, not just the pennant.

Any idea on year?
 

Picked up this pennant recently. Was being sold as a 1965 Toledo Mud Hens pennant, but I suspect it's older than that. The material does not feel 1960ish. Found a similar style Brooklyn Dodgers which would bring it in to at least the 1950's I'd think.

Agree... mid 1950s. Neat design!

1967 Redsox
 

Terrible condition but bought for two bucks last Summer at one of the Fleas I attend:

If you could remove the team photo without damaging the part that shows, I would think this one would be a candidate for bleaching as others here have done. Then re-attach the photo.

Hello all, I just joined Net54 a few weeks ago seeking more information about vintage pennants. It's been a pleasure reading through 144 pages of informative postings dating back to 2014. I thought I knew everything ... but you all enlightened me on some pretty important findings. So, thank you.

Years ago I made the same observation RLevy just did regarding these two 1963 WS pennants. I own the "1 96 3" variation, and I am confident it's genuine. (It passed the smell test.) That said, for a 50+ year old pennant, I am always amazed at how this pennant is seemingly always being sold in mint or near mint condition.

Then I noticed the second variation's existence. It too is always in remarkable condition.

Naturally, I wondered if one or both were reproductions; but, found nothing that proved this for either variant.

Then I saw Duluth Eskimo's 2014 posting wherein he commented on a "warehouse find" in Los Angeles and then implied that a certain 1963 World Series pennant may have come out of a similar discovery.

Can anyone speak to either pennant's authenticity? Or, as to why such a minor variation might have been made for an event-specific pennant that seemingly wouldn't be sold anytime other than during/at the World Series?

I cannot answer your question with any certainty, but can report that the pennant shown here was purchased from a vendor outside of Comiskey Park in 1965 when the Yankees were in town. I would have to say it is original.

Bears in great shape. AFL All Star has tip issues but still looks nice otherwise.
