Marc, very cool Oilers pennant and nice job!
That Giants pennant is nice but one of the more common 1969s, not sure if made by the same company that made the cloth pennants. I think the cloth are Trench and the felt is Wincraft? |

[attach]379158 sorry about the technical difficulties, but was wondering about the history of this 26 inch oddball

Looks to be late 1940s - early '50s, and a rare depiction of the mischievous Brownie. I've only seen it a couple of times in 30+ years of collecting pennants. Great score, if you got it! |

So it turns out I know nothing about pennants. Looking through my tubs, I came across others with the exact same 1969 trademark, but not cloth. One is softer felt (Expos) and the other is board-stiff (Padres). So I am guessing that trademark was also used beyond 1969. But then I don’t know how that explains pennants with the same TM but dated 1970.
Here’s my question. Did the same company make both Pilots pennants? My guess is ‘no’. |
Greg- I have that white/cream colored Padres pennant, but it's on the nice soft cloth material you're seeking. I believe it to be the earliest Padres Pennant, and their best (IMHO). Earliest version of "The Swinging Friar" and it has stayed perfectly clean, which is saying something for a white pennant. Never bleached, no fraying, and remains in great shape.
While I really like it, I could sell/trade it to you (for a reasonable price) if you're interested. I need to thin out, and seems like this one belongs with you. Just PM if interested. Also... I would vote that those 2 Pilots Pennants are indeed from different makers. |

When digging through some bins today, I found a couple of pennants pertinent to the recent discussion.
First is the "alternate" version Red Sox from the amazing 1951 series. Second is a rare version 1940s-'50s Browns Pennant with an unusual Pixie Mascot. Has anybody ever seen this one before? I cannot recall seeing another. |
