I really don't display my good pennants. I buy "wall hangers" and/ or Mitchell and Ness higher quality reproductions and I display them like they were meant to be displayed: by tacking them to the wall. No top loader, no frame. I just prefer that look and I hate spending money on pennant accessories.

That said, I'm absolutely paranoid of airborne dirt, sun exposure, and moths. That's why I store my good pennants in a cheap rectangular Tupperware container from Target. You can stack 50 pennants in one of these, seal it from moths and airborne dirt, then shove it under a bed away from sunlight. Sure, you can't display them this way, and finding one when you need it is tough, but it's cheap, easy, and safest for the pennants, so that's what I do.

For extra protection from moths, I place an old sock filled with cedar chips, lavender, and rosemary inside each container. This is just as effective as moth balls--but smells much better (and isn't toxic).

One word of caution. If you try this method, and/or stack vintage pennants for any length of time, make sure at least every other pennant has some type of protective sleeve on it. I learned the hard way that vintage pennants, particularly those covered in decades of patina, will slowly leach this stuff onto surrounding pennants. Felt dyes will also transfer. Lighter colored pennants are most vulnerable so if you care about that '75 Reds pennant in white, don't stack it anywhere near a navy blue Yankees pennant.

49ers pennant
 

This just arrived. I'm excited. It is the one 49ers pennant that I really wanted.

With respect to my other post about pennant storage and display, I'm going to try these for oversized pennants.

Sounds like there is no one system fits all for storage and display. I'm still thinking on it. I do want to keep some pennants on display, but am also concerned about a moth or silverfish sneaking in to do some damage. I think that I have the sunlight concern under control (with two sets of blackout blinds).

Nice AAFC 49ers pennant. It matches a series that was from that era. That is a very tough pennant.

That's a great one Marc. I was eyeing it as well. Glad someone I know got it.

Super Cool Niner pick up

Great pickup Marc... a sweet rare example, and condition appears to be great.

And nice idea on the 36” toploaders. Who ever said they needed to be triangle-shaped? Those should work well... I might try using the same method... Although the 12” width won’t quite work for the really big ones.

49ers pennant
 

Thanks guys.

Being an AAFC pennant, I assume that there are Browns and Colts versions out there (maybe some others... LA Dons?)? I'd be curious to see them. Do they all have a player with #77? If so, I'm guessing that the #77 image is somehow related to Red Grange? Maybe an image developed for a Red Grange pennant?

I'll let you know how the 12x36 toploaders work when they arrive.

Marc,
I have had and sold a green and grey Baltimore Colts version and a Los Angeles Dons pennant if I remember correctly. There might be photos in Mike’s book. If I remember correctly, both had 22 for numbers. I think I have also had a New York Yankees that was blue. They were all 3/4 sized.

AAFC Teams: Colts features player #20. Browns #44. New York Yankees #22. Los Angeles Dons #22.

NFL Teams: Rams #22. Packers #22. Steelers #22.

49ers are only one I know of with #77. Haven't seen any other teams.

Actually mine are all full size. 29"

The Yankees have a blue version and a white version.
