Hi Mike,

I'm no pennant expert but I think the S.F. one is almost certainly for the Pan Pacific International Exposition. Here's a button from my collection...

Pittsburgh pennants
 

Here’s some nice color combo Forbes Field pennants

Good call Andy.

Haven't added much lately but was glad to find this one...

First time I've seen one for sale.

Wow, that's in such great condition. Is that older version of that graphic; or the newer?

Any evidence of tassels?

I'd say this one is definitely from the 60's with stadium flags similar to the Raiders and Cowboys versions. You can see the mesh imprint in the screen printing as well...which I believe would put it in the 60s.

One interesting variation on this one...the people in the stadium look like people complete with waving arms. The Cowboys and Raiders versions just have ink blobs representing the crowd. Another difference, the Rams punter has cuffs on the sleeves of his jersey. The Raiders and Cowboys...and the 1940s version of the punter, don't.

Fantastic pickup, Rob...

J E A L O U S of that one... what a beauty!

Liked the orange and black on this one

Good call, Andy, on the 1915 Pan Pacific Pennant. Almost certainly, that's what it is...

As for the Chicago version, I have seen countless pennants over the decades, in which a sports team pennant shared the same image/graphics as a non-sports pennant. I have seen very specific Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers Pennants in which the same exact mascot was used for a zoo, national/state park, or city souvenir pennant. The companies that made these had a "library" of sorts, and utilized these images as appropriate. They did not always create a new image for every pennant and did not limit many of the images to sports.

That said... I still strongly believe the Chicago version is a Cubs Pennant. They always used burgundy for their pre-1920 pennants. The Chicago Bears came to exist in 1922, and oversized pennants were all but gone by then. As for it being a non-sports pennant, of course that remains a slight possibility. But whereas the Bear made complete sense for California (it is the California State Animal, and is prominent on the State Flag), it makes little/no sense for Chicago (other than for the Cubs). Furthermore, the Cubs used a full Bear Mascot back then, as opposed to the later cute Cubbie type mascot.

Just my 2 cents...

Also...

I know this is a pennant thread, but GORGEOUS PIN, Andy...

That is some beautiful artwork and the Bear charm is just awesome!
