I was going through ebay and what in the world is this?

seems like a strange and unique item (collegiate of ames?)

Never seen anything like it......but it sure seems like Collegiate of Ames.

Hi, I'm new to the board. Longtime Giants fan and collector. On eBay, I go by unclebaseballmike, and have probably bought and sold from some of you guys over the years.

Long ago I wanted to create a piece that captured Bobby Thomson's moment from 1951. I found one of the "Cinderella Boys" pennants in an auction and added it to a few other elements. I hadn't seen one of these pennants before, but I didn't know it was so rare. I got lucky, it's in really nice shape. If I can figure out how to upload an image here, you'll be able to see the final result. (Because somebody will probably ask, I seem to remember the shop tucking the ties behind the pennant for framing purposes.) It's been one of my favorite Giants displays.

Awesome pennant and display Mike. Welcome to the group!

Great display and welcome to Net54!

Banner?
 

Can a woman's silk headscarf also be a banner? Is this a hobby subset? They have some great graphics... Mike

I'm fairly sure "Collegiate of Ames" was a store in Ames, Iowa that made and sold collegiate items as pennants, tee-shirts, etc.

Love the pennant and framing job! ;)
Welcome to net54!

I think its some type of book cover or something among those lines.

Mike has some great Giants stuff, based on the small sample I've seen. i have the same pennant in about 1/10th the condition. Please keep sharing, Mike! Do you still have those "things" (no spoiler alert) that are taller than you?
