Gorgeous pennants Rob!

Mike

WOW to the Bears Pennant. Not just great condition, but very early!

Based on the style and the Uni, it’s gotta be 1930s. :D

Some of the pennants I acquired last year.

Beautiful collection

Wow! It was a good year for you! :D

That’s a bit of an understatement!

Really digging the Athletics, LaJoie and Bears Pennants, especially. But all are fantastic.

What a 2017 it was... congrats!

Love that 1912 pennant!

Oh my God, those Yankees pennants are amazing!!!

Actually, they all are. The Yankee blood in me got pumping when I saw those vintage beauties.

Mike

Nice pennants. I have some of those Yankees pennants in my collection too. I have always pondered the date of that green version. Can I get a consensus on what era people think? Thanks, Jason

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.

Picked up these recently

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.

Mike

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.

Mike

I have a novice question. I just came across a new minor league pennant of the stiff heavy felt. It is blue with a thin white border that has some dirt on it. Will this material soak in perhaps some Woolite or will it just come apart?

Totally agree....

Uncle Sam would've made an outstanding Yankees Bobblehead. I wish they didn't go with the generic version. It would've been awesome to also have a Stanford Pottery version.

Gibbs-Conner actually did it right. If you are somewhat new to vintage Yankees memorabilia and Figural Pieces, that would be a cool place to start. Not exceedingly rare, and not too expensive (as long as it's not a dated version - see below).

Another cool Yankees Figural Piece from the Golden Era is the Gehrig/Dickey Bank. These Banks are relatively easy to find, and won't set you back too far.

Hope this is helpful, and best of luck!

I'm with Mike and Greg...Nothing captures a piece of history for me more than pennants. The graphics, logos, feel, smell...all just do it for me. But, I've also collected some programs, yearbooks and media guides strictly for the cover art and have never even opened them.

A friend of mine in CT has an amazing football museum in his house. A large room with tall walls and high ceilings covered with pennants and programs. The room is amazing and looks beautiful. A work of art actually with its precision and detail. He designs "collection" rooms (not sure what the correct term is. He hates "man cave", though his does have a large TV in it. He prefers museum.) like his for a living. Pretty cool job.

I actually met him and discovered his room when I hand delivered some pennants he bought from me on eBay. Just by coincidence I was flying home a couple days later and we agreed to meet up. I was so impressed, I sold him some additional pennants and nodders I wasn't even interested in selling previously, just because I thought they'd look great and belonged in his "room". Last I spoke to him, he was going to be featured on ESPN and/or Sports Illustrated. Not sure whatever became of that. I'll have to check in with him.

Mark, those are some beautiful pieces & have been looking to add these to my Yankees collection, but I have never seen any of these pop up on eBay, ever. Maybe I am just not looking correctly or I may have to think about looking at auctions, which I have never participated in before. I have wanted to, especially when I see vintage Yankees or Jets vintage nodders. Money is always tight, so I have to find ways to find great pieces at great prices. I would also love to learn more about vintage Yankees memorabilia and figural pieces. Where would be a good place to start? Is there a book I can pick up?

Rob, your friends museum sounds fantastic. Please keep us up to date on if his space will be featured on ESPN or SI as I'd love to see it.

Mike

I'm with you guys, as well.....although I also really love pinback buttons. I think I have about 800 Giants pins and they tell cool stories as well.

Plus, they don't take up a ton of space! :p

Here's a portion:

Rob:
Very impressed that you squeezed an actual TV into that space!

Mike:
If you are willing to venture outside of eBay, try Inside the Park Collectibles. Lou and John run a great operation. They have frequent auctions, and never a Buyers Premium. They are one of the very best when it comes to Pennants, Hartlands and a wide range of Figural pieces. I know they've had all of the Yankees Gibbs Conners, the Dickey/Gehrig Bank, and countless Yankees Pennants over the years. The prices stay pretty reasonable, and they are 100% trustworthy.

Here's a link to their site...

https://www.insidetheparkcollectibles.com/catalog.aspx

Thanks Mark, I will definitely check them out.

Rob, that a man cave or a part of your home? If I ever get a man cave, it will be part man cave, part living room. Love seeing pics of your awesome collection sir.

Mike

i ran across this photo I saved previously and thought some people may want some fairly definitive evidence on the date of this particular Yankees pennant. There is strong evidence to believe this is a 1938 Yankees World Series pennant. This lot was being sold as all items received and purchased at this game. Just some food for thought. Jason

Thanks Jason!

Additionally, there are 3/4 size Pennants of the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants with the same Batter graphic as on the Mini Pennant you’ve pictured. So this helps to date those as well.

Much appreciated!

1917 White Sox World Series banquet
 

Here are some "detail" photos from the October 3, 1917 pre-World Series banquet feting the Al Champion White Sox at the Edgewater Beach Hotel.

I wonder if these incredible pennants survived?

Also included is a detail showing Jackson and Weaver at the dais table.

A few of those White Sock Pins have survived. I know Mastro had a couple, among others....

But the huge White Sox Pennant looks incredible. Bet it was even more spectacular in living color. I, too wonder if there's any way it could have survived? That would be an absolute stunner.

Not quite as cool as the White Sox stuff, but I was under bidder on this, years ago. It went pretty cheap but I was just beginning to collect.

Stanford and Cal Pennants
 

Buying pre 1930's Stanford and Cal sewn pennants especially LJSU Stanford pennants. Please send pictures and prices.

First year Pittsburgh Penguins Pennant
 

Picked up this first year Penguins hockey pennant. Have never seen another in my 8 years of collecting hockey pennants.

A few additions...

mini pennants from the 1910s
 

Hello, I am fascinated by this piece, from the 1910s.

It measures about 24 x 24 inches and each pennants is about 7&3/4 by 2&3/4 inches. They are different and larger that the common ferguson bakery pennants.

Has anyone ever seen these or any like them? And any comments as to worth for any of the pennants? There are some pretty good HOFers in there.

Appreciate any opinions/comments, thanks-

Nice pennants. I really like the Yale with the Bulldog looking through the "Y" and the Cubs which I guess is from the 30's.

Great piece Rick

I can't imagine anyone ever destroying a pillow top to obtain the pennants.I have never seen an individual pennant for sale and hope I never will. This "pillow top" was given away by the Ferguson company in 1916 as a premium. I think there are only 4 or 5 in existence. Congrats if you won this last night. It is a wonderful piece.

A considerably worse condition one sold for just under $1700 on Heritage in August. It's now for sale on eBay for just under $4900 or best offer.

thank you for this information, appreciate that~!

I also sent you a pm, let me know if you get it, thanks!

I really like that pennant. The shade of blue and the left hand border are unlike anything I've ever seen on a pennant.

New pickup
 

Just recently picked up this very rare piece! Seller had it framed in museum grade UV protection glass. Some pickups make you more excited than others and this is one of them!

I know this isn't baseball, but as a Saginaw Gears collector this is my favorite Gears pennant. It's a 1976-77 IHL Turner Cup Champions photo pennant. I've only ever seen this one and love it.

My second favorite is my team signed example.

AndyH

That's a great pennant and a really tough one.

Hey thanks! I wasn’t intending to get it and then I did...sometimes the best finds are the unexpected surprises!

Gotta love a name like the Saginaw Gears!

Was there a Columbus, OH team in the IHL at that time? Seals, maybe?

edit: just checked....Owls. Loved that logo!

A real beauty........

https://www.ebay.com/itm/flag/192451....c100290.m3507

I have that one.

Yeah but do you have the blue version?

There are sooooooo many dopes on ebay. Lately, I’ve been seeing slabbed and graded Fun Foods or MLBPA pins being “offered” at $500+. They’re worth about a buck. You gotta be a dope to send them to PSA, in the first place.

Speaking of dopes on eBay.....

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vtg-very-...53.m1438.l2649

So rare that there only 5 others on Ebay at this very moment.

Can I assume the 1907-08 is a repro?

No it's original.

Original vintage circa 2007-08

Ha!:D:D

100 year commemorative version!

My newest purchase
 

My most recent pick up to add to my collection of Tiger pennants. Just need to add the 35 & 38 version now.

Great pickup! Love the pennant and how you’re displaying them.

This is a screen grab from last night's Antiques Roadshow. I've never seen this pennant. Is it just me, or does it look oversized? I didn't think they did oversized pennants in this era. Does anyone know anything about this pennant? Value?

I have seen that pennant before. They are pretty rare, but not impossible. I think they did a similar red version as well. I only recall seeing Cincinnati Reds pennants like this though. I will let someone more familiar with Reds memorabilia chime in for pricing. It was never really something that overly interested me. Off the top of my head I want to say in the $150-200 range.

Also, it is oversized. I don't recall the exact length, but 35 inches sticks out in my memory. Larger on the piping end as well.

I could have sworn I seen a Yankees pennant in that size from this era at a card show I frequent. I could be wrong. I'm not as knowledgeable as you guys and I only glanced at it in passing.

Mike

Just curious Mike...Do you ever go to the White Plains show? I used to hit that one when I was in CT. Miss that one.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Yup, that is the one I was referring to. I will also hit the one at Hofstra if I am ever out on Long Island.

Hope all is well sir.

Mike

Basically everything Jason said about the Reds Pennant is spot-on.

They do turn up with some frequency, but are tough to find in acceptable condition. The combination of the photo insert, large size and white felt create “the perfect storm” for damage and wear.

I have only seen the Reds in this particular style... but being a 1961 Champs pennant, it’s quite possible that a Yankees version was made as well. You’d think they’d turn up periodically, however, if that was the case.

Doing well Mike. How about you?

That show was always fun. Found some good pennants there. It was a nice ride down 84 to NY too. Scenic and no traffic. Took about two hours but went by fast.

Rob

New additions...
 

Some happy additions to the collection...To quote Sesame Street..."One of these things is not like the others.."

I don’t know anything about it, but I’m curious as to what the show valued at?

Not related, but I know you’d would appreciate my most recent before and after bleach candidate.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3dadfc5cf0.jpg

I’d say the bleaching did not go well. I have always been a proponent of bleaching but I recently f**ked up a really good pennant. :mad:

I should have said an ‘after (on top) and before (on bottom)’... I think the top looks pretty good all things considered. :)

Oh no - what happened?!

Looks much whiter Erik. Good job.

Beware the red paint. Bleach is it's kryptonite. I learned the hard way...but not as hard as Rob. :mad:

Rob

I thought the pics went the other eay. So the bleach turned orange to brown?

Great pennants Rob. Love, love that Jets Pennant. Is it mid 60's?

I take Metro North up to White Plains for the show. Love train rides. So peaceful and relaxing. Not NYC subways. Those are nightmares.

Mike

I used take Metro North into Grand Central all the time...until I mastered driving in NYC. :)

That Jets pennant is probably mid to late 60's. I think it's part of the same series as the Saints pennant below it and the Saints became a team in 1967.

Those are some really good football pennants.

Thanks Jason...I've been on a lucky streak lately...with one notable exception.

Can't win them all I guess.

Price on this?
 

I've had this on eBay at $199 or best offer for quite a while and rec'd no legit offers. It's in beautiful condition. Am I too high? I think Egner's book had it much higher. I'd rather keep it than give it away but maybe I'm over valuing?

<a href="http://imgbox.com/S7SEa31u" target="_blank"><img src="https://images2.imgbox.com/7d/94/S7SEa31u_o.jpg" alt="image host"/></a>

I'll PM you

I’m color blind so I’m not sure about the brown [emoji15]...but it is whiter! Haha
