I like that Giants one. It appears to be 3/4, but hard to tell. Are you thinking 30's on that one? I have seen similar, but I don't think I have seen that exact version. The real feather Indians is tough to find in nice shape.

Correct on both counts..... NY Giants is 3/4 size and from the '30s. The Yankees and Brooklyn also used that "Ruthian Batter" image at te time, but this is the only one I've seen with color graphics.

Indians is a very soft/supple felt, so I can see how it would be easily prone to damage. But that feather is really anchored in there.... I don't think I could remove it without a pliars!

I think I have that Yankees version so that would make sense. That version in general is pretty tough as it was kind of that transition period for pennants. I have never seen that green Brooklyn Dodgers one you posted either. That's a nice one too.

BTW, it really seems like pennants are not getting the respect or collectibility that they were only a couple of years ago. I see tough versions of a lot of pennants barely selling for much of a premium over the run of the mill styles. You still see some of those spikes here and there, but it's a little disheartening. I think pennants are great and I am always shocked when vintage collectors do not include them in their collections. I guess we'll just have to keep this thread going to help it along. Jason

I require a Houston Colt .45s full size pennant. So mad...lost out on one on Ebay for $75...never seen it so cheap!!

I think I have a nice Colt .45s that I could let go. Send me a PM with your email address, if you would like me to send you pics/pricing. Thanks :)

Here are a few I found at Brimfield, a flea market, and a card show over the past few months. The Tigers one looks like the championship year one but the tip is cut out (presumably to sell it in subsequent years?).

I am amazed by the early pennants shown in this thread!

I want you guys to do the deal out in the open. C'mon Mark, let's see the Houston pennant you are offering up!:D

If there's a deal, it's news to me!

It is a nice one though.... just have to dig it out!

Hi Mark-

PM sent...thanks for the reply!

totally agree. The pennant below....while butt ugly.....is tough to find but has gone around ebay at least twice without getting $100. I have over 220 Giants pennants and it wasn't until an advanced collector in the Bay Area liquidated his collection (with me getting second dibs), that I got mine. Speaking of which, at least with Giants, once my fellow team collectors all have a particular item, the price plummets. The key is being the last guy to "need" something. :D
