Thank you, all! Yeah, I was as surprised as anyone to find these four among the collection. I only knew of the Oaks version. It never occurred to me that these were part of a series.
Which means there has to be a Los Angeles Angels version out there, too. So ... time to check grandma's attic ;) |

Interesting couple of pennants sold last night on eBay. More rare ones offered yet again, by jonsstats...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/orig-highly...p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/orig-highly...p2047675.l2557 Both are obviously from the same original series (guessing early 1950s). Pretty strong price realized for the Browns Pennant. I had posted mine here a couple weeks ago and at that point, had never seen another. Then a week later, this one came along, and sold for $521. The Boston Braves Pennant was a steal at $109, IMO. I would've definitely bid higher, had I not already had this one. I think I have now seen this pennant 3 times (in 3 decades of collecting). So someone got a very nice buy. Does anyone else here have other pennants to show, from this unique series? The flared and stylized font and eclectic artwork seem to be the common threads. I have no idea how many teams were represented, but would love to see some others. Apparently this series never went into mass production, given the scarcity today. |

Yes Rob... he seems to have a pipeline to rare pennants that never dries up.
Do you have an idea of which NY Giants Pennant fits into this series? Based on font and graphics, I would think perhaps this one linked below... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-New-Y...cAAOSw9GhYau2k But it's common as hell compared to the others, so it's tough to figure this out. |
The Redskins had a very similar Indian on their pennants at one point as well.

Great observation, Rob...
Same artist as the Braves for sure. Now we just need to know the maker of these pennants (paging Mr. Domer!) I bet there are many more from this series just waiting to be identified. While we're at it, below is a Senators Pennant that's definitely from the same maker as the Redskins (note the obvious similarities...) |

Might this be from the series?
