Jason/Erik...Thanks go out to Rick Haskins for this one. Picked up some great pennants from him on Friday. Unfortunately, my wallet forced me to choose among many...so there will be some left if you run into him at the National. ;)
Good point, Rob. No, I can't imagine each team took a photo just for use on Trench's pennants--separate from their annual team photo. But, it does appear that Trench actually printed the team's photo, as evidenced by the Trench name on the reverse. They probably had to in order to create a photo that had the right dimensions; and, maybe on a material that was suitable for whatever adhesive they used to bond the pennant with the felt (tape, I think??).

Really psyched to have picked this up. Seems to be much harder to find than the Dodgers companion pennant - both were made without tassels.

Safe to say, this was probably the last time they asked an intern to identify the players. ;)

And yes...tape. Really good tape. The predecessor to Gorilla tape I'm guessing.

Those are tough Sox variations as well

Good observation about the absence of tassels on these two pennants. Both were made by Trench--a company that always included a pair of tassels on their 3/4 and full size pennants through 1970 or so.

Except in 1959 when making the NL and Al Champions pennants for the Dodgers and Sox, respectively. Never could explain it.

Do you suppose they ran out of tassels at the factory that week..?

But no shortage of yellow spines. They had plenty of those whether the yellow went with the color combination or not. That Dodgers pennant would look sharp with a white spine.

Thanks a lot for the teaser, Rob...

Let's see a few others you picked up!
The unfinished Rams pennant (typically this is covered in facsimile signatures) and Raiders Stars pennant aren't from Rick. The rest are. A nice group of bootleg pennants and a phantom Cowboys SBXIII Champions pennant I hadn't seen before.

The Trench pennants with the stadium graphics are so cool. Every team had them except for the Phillies and Senators. Would love to know why they were excluded.

Dodgers Pennant
 
This is one of my favorites - I believe it's from the 50s.

The letters are sewn on - which IMO gives it a "well made" appearance.
