Same artist and company. These are "a cut above" IMO, as the felt is thicker and the tassels are longer than normal. Must have been made by an obscure company, which might explain the scarcity.

Any thoughts on these, Rob? :confused:

I know you must own both, and eager to hear your perspective ;)

I've also seen the batter in front of bridge in red and white and the one below comes in a brown (not faded black) and orange.

* Oddball Mascots
* Felt colors that have no relation to the team colors

like green and yellow (A's colors) or blue and yellow? these pennants are butt ugly...yes, I guess it's a giant but the only giant that should be used is the Willard Mullin "Giant on bridge" (or Giant in Polo Grounds).

Rob:
I actually love the Blue and Gold one. Looks like the UCLA Giants! :rolleyes:

Did anybody here win this one...

Fascinating subject. I had no idea there was so much variety in pennants. Maybe it's because the only ones I ever run across are the common, newer ones, that show up at flea markets and such. I don't really collect them but I will pick them up if they are interesting, and cheap.

Here are 2 of my favorites:
As a RAMS fan, this one was a must have, even though it looks pretty faded. Team picture is the 1960 RAMS squad.

This Dodgers pennant I can't see to find any information on, such as date. I've been told it dates to the 1950's. But they had just arrived in Los Angeles in 1958, so that is just a 2 year window. Not sure. I just loved the graphic of the sliding player, who actually looks quite a bit older than 1950's.
