Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

Gehrig ...

I’ve yet to see a Giants pennant from this series in cloth. Felt, yes. Black print on orange. Here’s one currently on eBay. The felt versions that seem to be early 70s have the ASCO trademark, you can see it below the G. (Thanks for info KB.) The ‘69 cloth ASCO pennants are all multi colored, I would expect the same design but with a white baseball.

*Correction ... I don’t think the Twins have a multi-colored version, mine is white on red. The rest are.

Thanks. I personally prefer the cloth pennants provided they aren’t faded. And you’re right - they usually are. They have a nice feel to them. These pennants actually have a cloth spine, too!

I’m not sure if any of you will find this interesting like I do, but here is an ASCO pennant from 1969 - or specifically, with the 1969 trademark. It’s cloth so I do believe it is actually from ‘69. The Uncle Sam stadium graphic is a carbon copy of the same graphic from the tasseled Trench stadium pennants of the 50s/60s. By this time both companies were using trademarks although I guess their artwork was not legally secure?

I’m still trying to complete this ASCO set in cloth and I’m intrigued by the speciality pennants ... this one, the Cub Power Cubs pennant, etc. ... maybe it’s the lockdown boredom, I dunno ....

I find it interesting as well. Quick question about the pennant...

Are the 4 circular photos glued on to the front side? Or are they attached from the back side, like the vast majority of photo pennants of the era?

Thanks, and nice example!

Hey Mark ... it’s just like a typical picture pennant, attached from the back and the headshots are seen through holes cut in the pennant. Manufactured by .. The Button House! Winona, MN. Mr. Domer had a lot of details regarding them and their relationship with ASCO. Also I’m guessing why you see a lot of the smaller Twins player pennants.

New acquisition ... is this the pennant equivalent of a four leaf clover? (I have two others like this, with three on the bottom.)

I notice several of these in my collection as well when I did my big sort a few weeks back. Was it intentional by the same rogue seamstress? Could quality control have been that lax?

Well I have a 1954 Giants scroll with three, and this Giants (and a Pirates) from probably the early 60s. So not sure. Would love to have seen how these were mass produced. They surely didn’t foresee the darn tassels falling out because they are attached too close to the edge!

I, obviously, believe you but it looks nothing like Gehrig, to me. :confused:
