Thanks Jason. One of the things interesting about the yellow '45 pennant if you look close the spine is actually two separate pieces of felt sewn together. I didn't notice it when I bought it and the seller (Heritage) didn't mention it in their listing. They are clearly original and not some later repair based on the stitching pattern and also the fact they are the same color. I'm guessing these are machine sewn and the person doing it came up short on this one and got creative. Has anyone ever seen this on other pennants? Its a first for me.

Yes. I have seen it before Adam...

It's pretty rare, but I think they employed this technique when the "roll" of spine (or whatever form it came in) reached its end. The makers must've been pretty cheap, and rather than waste that last 4 inches, they just added a piece to make it whole.

I've seen at least 8 - 10 of this type over the years... all from the 1940s - 50s era. Pretty cool symbol as to how these things were so different back in the day!

I agree. It’s by no means common, but you see it every once in a while. Good stuff.

That is a bizarre pennant, with the “backwards” lettering. Cool, that it has a maker that I don’t think any of us (especially Domer05) are familiar with.

Yep, I’ve got a few. Most common among the early 50s pennants with the thick strip. Here’s one ...

Great Tigers pennants, Adam. Tigers have the best vintage pennants, IMO. And for some reason they have the most dated pennants. Possibly every year from 1936 thru 1952.

The ‘45 WS pennant looks similar to the Cubs pennant, clearly they go together. Here are a couple of sibling pennants from a few years earlier ...

I’m in the process of the long undertaking of inventory, will eventually take pictures of every pennant I have. Here are some Mets pennants from ‘69, some rare, all cloth.

Here ya go

I was able to take pictures of every (good) pennant I owned when we moved 8 years ago. It’s nice to have pictures, rather than having to go hunting. Good luck.

That’s pretty funny. Frugality at its best.....or worst. :confused:
