This series is beyond rare. That's the only Oilers I've ever seen, and one of very few made for ANY teams. I do have the Steelers (equally scarce) from that series... Rob, if you are interested in that one, just shoot me a text on our ongoing thread. It will take some digging, but I know I have it in nice condition.

The great Astronaut pennant was in my collection for many years, but finally found its proper home.

And that Cubs Catcher variation is one I've always loved, but never been able to find. It's such a toughie. Great one Mike! I bet you may also have the 1945 Cubs with Batter and Players' Names. I've never had that one either.

Ironically I am in the midst of a big sale/trade, in which I'll likely be parting with some other very rare ones. Tough to do when you're still attached, but very fortunate to have a small source of "stay at home income" during these weird and tough times.

I'll put up a few more on the BST later this weekend. Will include some nice ones at good prices. Please keep an eye out!
Looking forward!!! Let’s liberate some of those oversized beauties!!! :)

Hahaha...been there. In fact, I'm there right now. ;)

You are correct, sir! This was made by Collegiate of Ames in the 1950s, around the time they were making 3-D pennants. In fact, the artwork appears to be from the same artist responsible for the Dodgers and Red Sox 3-Ds.

Collegiate Mfg. Co. was always a very military-friendly company. I can't imagine they made any money on this particular design; but, given the customer, I'm sure it was their privilege to make this one.

They made at least two variants of this design for the Navy: one for San Diego and another for Bainbridge Island, WA.

Great info...

Same artist for sure... and you're right. They probably sold very few of these. I can't imagine young Military Trainees spending their sparse expendable income on this (cool as it is). That must be one of very few survivors.

1955 Yankee/Dodger Pennant REA Auction
 
Unless there is something I do not see, this pennant was an excellent buy.

Completely agree Jerry...

Many people consider that one to be the most desirable and important post-war pennant. It has routinely sold for double that amount, and the consignor must've sunk a lot of dough into that framing job. It did not even have a bid until the final day!

In addition, REA described it as having a clipped tip, but it is 100% original and complete. Every example ever to surface has that same style tip, as it was made that way. Consignor can't be very happy.

Mark -
I took another look at the pennant.
There appears to be a stain or a "faded area" - lighter shade of red.

Take a look and let me know what you think.
