Oh I’ve seen other Browns (and have some more), was referring specifically to this exact design with same letter font. Would be cool to see this in red ...

Never have I seen an oversized Browns or Cardinals pennant (i.e. pre -1920ish)

Yes, I understand what you are asking

This style of pennant is unique and intriguing. No cloth strip at the wide end. The only non-dated teams I’ve seen are the Browns and Cardinals. They also have dated versions from ‘38, ‘39 with tassels attached by grommets.

But then there are “Champions” pennants that date as far back as 1919 (Sox), same style, with grommets. I have a 1920 Dodgers, have seen ‘20 Indians and ‘33 Senators. Anyone have any background or info on these?

Not sure about those Browns pennants, but did you (or anyone else here) happen to get the 1944 Browns (American League Champions) and Cardinals (National League Champions) pennants on eBay last week? I thought those were prettty cool.

I saw them, yes very cool, if they were full size I’d have gone all in. That’s the only ‘44 dated pennant I’ve ever seen in any size with the Browns’ Saint Louis (of France) logo ...

I have no information on this manufacturer. But, metal grommets on pennants are certainly unique. I have seen them on collegiate pennants from the 1920s, like this one, which I noted also lacks a felt spine of any sort.

The Cardinals had a matching style Pennant with painted spine and grommets (most likely from same manufacturer as the Browns). The Reds also used Grommets/no spine on a number of their 1960s 3/4 size pennants. I also have a full-sized Reds with the Grommets.

A few examples are pictured below. It's also notable that many "no spine" pennants of the era used sewn-on and even stapled-on tassels.

I’ve seen the Cardinals also dated. So maybe it was a Midwest company. This pennant here is the same style.

I hate seeing “Hey, pennant guys” demoted to page 2 of the threads ... so I was wondering, has anyone seen any 50s/60s style stadium pennants for minor league teams? Here are two that I have - I also have two different Buffalo Bisons pennants. Anyone?

Here is a MN Millers stadium pennant that I have posted before. I think we can probably date it to 1956.
