If anyone is planning on bidding on a crappy, red Polo Grounds pennant on ebay, let me know and we'll work something out. I don't want to "cost someone money" and vice-versa.

I already have that Polo Grounds pennant Rob, so don't worry about me :)

Attached are some recent Giants additions. Both tough to find. Both a bit rough.

The orange one has a funky tip. Can't tell if it was just a bad cut (notice bad cut on spine too) or if someone trimmed it later. It's tough to find in Orange. Pretty easy to find in Black. The funky cut on the spine reminds me of bootleg 49ers pennants, many of which have that same flat cut at the top (or bottom). Very stiff felt too.

Marc, 99% confident that the orange pennant was made that way. Looks like an Ad Flag pennant? There is no word mark like they usually have but I still suspect it is one. Modern (post 1960) Ad Flags are notorious for weird cuts, like they had sone guy use scissors. Very nice though!

I notice the bottom of mine is cut a little funky, too. I'm not sure I have any orange pennants with an orange spine.

One thing this has in common with Ad Flag is a spine that is not sewn directly along the edge but leaves a noticeable amount of the pennant showing to the left.

Here are my non-MLB baseball pennants ... I'd love to find more stadium pennants from the IL or AA. Observe that Offermann Stadium looks a heck of a lot like Fenway Park ...

Those are ALL great, Greg....

I especially love the Tacoma Tigers (I do have one) and the Miami Marlins (never been able to nail one down). They are all beautiful with tremendous artwork and graphics. Thanks for posting those!

They are great!

I’ve been looking for a Tacoma Giants forever. :(

Obtained this 26” Cubs pennant which I rarely see. I’m guessing the 1930s but would love to hear from the experts with their opinions.
