Pennant date

I think that the Yankees batter in the green pennant and the Giants batter in this pennant are the same. I picked this up from a board member (EC), who (if I recall correctly) picked it up with a 1945 Giants program. Not 100% sure if the program and pennant went together or not, but maybe.

Prior to reading Marc’s post, I was going to say 1947.

The Yankees were not AL champs in 1945 or 46. So I’ll stick with 1947 as my best estimate (ok, best guess :o )

Very similar, but the Yanks were off the WS train from 44-46. I don't think it's a 47, but it could be. I was thinking early 40's, but don't have anything conclusive. Hopefully some more info will pop up. Thanks

Just saw your post after I responded, not an arguement. Let me know what other think.

Beautiful pennants Jim.

I love the older pennants. nothing beats the way these pennants were made. I just love the art on them and wish the pennants that are made today looked like these.

I have a nice BF Mini Pennant that I'd like to secure and preserve. Do the grading companies do authentication/holdering of mini pennants?

Mike, I agree 100%. I don't collect anything else, got into pennants purely because of the aesthetics. It all started for me with a desire to decorate a game room. Nothing compares to old pennants and yearbook covers ...

Some of my favorite NYY pennants. The more common blue pennants (including the 1960 scroll pennant) are among my very favorites, really cool graphics.

Hi Greg,

Those are some beautiful pennants. I love the blue pennant with the old Stadium featured prominently on it. I also really like the one with Uncle Sam.

I never understood why the Yankees didn't keep Uncle Sam as a mascot. They had Dandy in the late 70's, early 80's which was terrible. Uncle Sam would have been pretty cool. As a bobblehead collector, Yankee Uncle Sams would have made for a nice looking bobble.
