Interesting theory. That makes sense, actually. Whether they were trying to avoid a lawsuit, or just being lazy, it's clear whoever made this series phoned in the artwork.

Frankly, how they could label that stadium as "Wrigley Field" of all places is a crime against humanity.

The text on this Mets pennant resembles the text layout that ASCO used in the 1970s. Is the spine exactly 1" wide on these, I wonder? If so, it likely is by ASCO ... in which case, nobody should be surprised that they phoned in a pennant design :p

Is my first picture not a Keezer? It's not stamped but I thought someone had attributed it to Keezer. The second is Marc's "seen one and only once" pennant. Gotta be a Keezer.

Both are definitely Keezer. The second one is from their latest series.

And the second one has the Keezer stamp.

Of the Keezers I have in my album, about half have the stamp. I have a Senators with stamp and Nationals without. Both pennants are identical except for name.

Damn, I want that “second Keezer”! :D

Hey ooo-ribay. Did you say that you have a red one of these? If so, can you post a pic?

Picked up this post card because of the pennant theme. "Joe Kosyan's Pennant Buffet" in Quincy, Illinois. Sounds like our kind of place. 1920s give or take. All barstools have been removed so maybe during Prohibition. Also see Pro-Women's Voting pennants too which would place it around the 20s. I spot an early White Sox pennant around the upper middle of the postcard. Anyone have that one? :) Hard to make out any others.

Kyle...You ever stumble across this place during your research?

Edit...This shot is from the 1910's as I found one on Google dated April 7, 1916.

Awesome post card, and yes, I actually came across the same post card in a book dedicated to screen printing a while back.

It's an especially interesting piece because the photo is colorized. Not sure exactly how they did that back in the 1910s, but I think the photographer had to add the colors post-development of the original B/W exposure, by hand? If so ... makes you wonder how accurate the colors depicted are to the real thing.

And, although my wife generally isn't a big fan of buffets, I would totally drag my family there.

On a high res image of the same post card, you'll note a framed pennant above the center of the bar. It was apparently custom-made, for the proprietor, and reads "Jos. Kosyan / Pennant Buffet" next to a screen printed image of Mr. Kosyan himself. Beneath it, above the cash register, there's a very oversized, two-piece pennant with a four letter monogram (JKPB) next to the words "PENNANT BUFFET." Gotta love Mr. Kosyan's style, eh?

I think that's mine. :D

OK...I did the Google photos album. I was trying to import them by "series," but that seemed to not always work. Is there a way to re-arrange? I was thinking I would have 97 photos but I think I only got 89 or so. The one post-1980s pennant I included is a misspelled one. I probably have another 100 1980-2000 pennants.

DELETE FIRST GOOGLE PHOTO ATTEMPT.
