Both Greg and Doug have a pennant with a view of multi-colored stands from the pitcher’s mound and “1956” in a ball. I’ve never seen anything similar. Is this a Brooklyn only design?

The only one similar (and by the same maker) is a Cleveland Indians Champs pennant. I'll try to find images.... please stay tuned.

Here they are. No other teams used this image, that I am aware of...

These ‘54-56 pennants share a more general style, you can tell by the font and also the texture of the screen print. It tends to be thick with very fine grooves in it. Look close and you’ll see what I mean. This Phillies pennant is clearly from the same maker, as in the “Cinderella Boys” Giants pennant.

Next up are the NY Giants. This may disappoint, in both quantity and quality it falls short of my assortment of Brooklyn pennants. I really don’t have much as far as SFG, except for the common GG bridge versions.

There is a neat little twist on one of my ‘54 pennants though ...

Fantastic, Greg!!

Especially the 3D Collegiate Pennant and the Willard Mullin Giant inside the Polo Grounds! Nicest condition example of that tough one I've seen!

You've stumped me on the '54 pennant... What's the twist??

The red one ... three tassels at the bottom!

I lucked out on that Giants 3D, in the earlier days of eBay my automatic follow up question to a seller was, “let me know if you have any others to sell” ... and for one guy this was among them. I got an insanely good deal. Back then I really was sure what I had either, didn’t fully know what was rare and what wasn’t. ...... my collection/addiction began late 90s after buying some repros at the Mitchell and Ness 50% off Super Bowl sale. (Their old store was only about 15 miles from me.) In the store they had some vintage Phillies pennants on display, and I thought they looked better ....

Nice Giants pennants, Greg. Lots to like in there. I may look more to the NY era in the future, and it's good to know that Rob already has most these (less competition... although I seem to remember that Rob's Cinderella pennant was on the thin side).
