Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

Would love to see more of Greg's group photos, especially Giants and Astros/Colt 45s pennants.

Two new additions for me. The black Giants pennant to go with the blue, and the Redwood Pioneers of the California League of my youth. I've always liked the batter using the redwood tree as a bat.

Here’s a cool Keezer Astros pennant, perhaps from their first year or two

Here’s the more common ‘54 Giants version, except that it came with the ribbon and there are three tassels at the bottom!

... hmm, when I edit a post (usually when I forget to attach the picture) I can’t manage attachments.

Astros

Greg- Great stuff. The 3D and 1951 Giants pennants are too cool.

I also really dig that Keezer Astros pennant. A somewhat moth eaten one was on eBay last year and I just could not bring myself to go for it. Hoping another one shows up someday.

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 wanted to buy that Yankees pennant at the national in Baltimore, but he wanted to sell as a set. Nice set.

Considering trying to bleach this pennant, late 40s AAFC, any preconditions on how it might turn out?

That pennant is most likely from the early 60's. Is it cloth with little loose threads or soft felt? If it's soft felt, I wouldn't try to bleach.
