Mark ... got any old Phillies or A’s pennants to put up for sale?

Tough to envision any that you don't already have, haha.

I did find this beauty... Any interest, just shoot me an email or PM.

Thanks!

Mark and Greg need to do flickr pages, ala Doug. What else are you doing, anyway? ;)

I'd love to hear Mark's, Greg's, Jason's, Kyle's, etc. thoughts on why Giants and Dodgers pennants are not all that similar, given the teams' geographical proximity. :confused:

Not sure. But are they less similar than, say, Phillies and Yankees?

If we focus on (what I think is) Trench ... pre-1958 both had stadium pennants, one pictured below. I will say a full size Polo Grounds pennant is hard to come by - harder than Ebbets. The Giants version of the Emmet Kelly pennant just had a baseball graphic.

After the move, Trench uses the bum in the Coliseum ... one of my very favorites is the “New Home” pennant. The Mullin Giant is moved to the GG Bridge. Not Seals Stadium or Candlestick. Scroll pennants exist for the Dodgers but I think non-existent for the Giants. The Giants have a pennant with scattered names like the ‘63 Yankees. The one stadium pennant I’ve seen (from your collection) with the batter does look a little different from others, as if it was a different maker. Kind of like how the Mets Shea pennants look different. Nice - but different.

As for the other makers ... no idea. I think it’s much weirder that of all teams, only two do not have a stadium pennant. Phillies (why???) and Senators. Giants and Mets do, may or may not be same maker. I think every other team has ‘em.

How about the team picture pennants? Some teams have them with that extra banner that fits in slots. Others don’t. Some teams have no team pic pennant. Have never seen a Giants, Braves, Cubs or Red Sox. (Not like the common style that is.) Same with Mets, except for ‘69 and I think ‘63 that had a picture stapled on.

I think whenever we hold our first “Hey, pennant guys” convention we need as a keynote speaker someone who worked for Trench so he could explain all these mysteries ...

EDIT: Now I see a Giants scroll pennant ... not a traditional scroll though

Rob - I think you are missing something that all Californians know, but I really learned when I moved from NorCal to SoCal over 25 years ago : they are COMPLETELY different places.

Not only are they rivals, but they have different mindsets about just about everything. A simplistic view would be : the north has a "hippy" mindset, but mindset of "the man" took over in the south. With small pockets of exception, of course (like Topanga down here).

When they moved out here, they were SO far away from the other teams, that I assume (but don't actually know) that the standard pennant companies that shared images / styles between teams didn't bother, and instead local companies got the gigs. Do I get half credit for that thought?

I know I’m not the guy to answer that question. I’m strictly on to the beauty aka: coolness of pennants. Makers and production are not my thing. I just like buying and selling them. Seems like there’s always been more production info from the NY and Chicago areas and less info from the California area. I did buy some old stock out of Northern CA years ago, but those included those 1958 Giants variations mentioned in the past. That purchase included pennants going from the mid 40’s AAFC all the way to the 70’s. Never got any name of the makers

Although this isn't a press photo, I thought I would throw it out there to date this pennant. This was being sold in one lot all purchased at the same time. Just for info.
