We'll shake things up a little with this one. Secretariat pennant, why not

Found a way to frame the 3D pennant without squashing the bat. Used 2 pieces of of pexiglass and cut out around the bat.

This pic was taken in a Chicago barber shop, ca. 1910s. I know one or two of you own the pair of sox + cubbies pennants hanging on the end....

What a great picture. I could be wrong, but the 8th pennant from the right looks like it has an elephant on it, possibly the Athletics.

Good day to ask about the limited series of these pennants. They are definitely made by a large pennant company, the style resembles those of a common late 40s style. (Some other teams have the same little flag by the tip.) I know of this Jackie pennant, Doby, Paige, and I may have seen Luke Easter? So I suppose these were made to honor the African-American pioneers of the time.

Does anyone know of any other players? (I know there are other player pennants - Don Newcombe is one example - but I am specifically asking about those that match this style.)

Additionally ... are there any Jackie pennants like this that list him as a second baseman? I think I may have seen one ...

I think you captured all of the known ones, Greg...

I saw Luke Easter once, and snoozed/lost on it. I do have Paige, Doby and Jackie. I also have Newcombe, but as you said, it is not from this series. I cannot recall ever seeing any others. But it would be great if something else were to surface!

That is a fantastic precision frame job! Great solution to a challenging pennant.

I racked my brain trying to devise a good solution, but just went the lazy route. The larger size rigid sleeves are just big enough to accommodate Uncle Sam’s Hat and Bat (without crushing anything). The door is metal, so I attached magnets to the 3 reverse corners of the top loader sleeve, in order to hang it.

It worked pretty well but not as aesthetically stunning as yours. Great job!

Pennants on a shelf

I've been trying to get pennants out on display and of my closet, but have limited wall space. I decided to buy some 36 inch acrylic book shelves so that I could both store and display pennants at the same time.

I think I got about 18 on the shelf and can easily rotate them to have something different at the front.

It maybe isn't a 100% perfect solution, but I'm happy with it.
