Yes, it an acquisition early in the year courtesy of one of our awesome thread members.

Erik that is great. This is what gives me the idea of a pennant “checklist”, with pictures grouped not by team but by series. There are actually quite a few that can be easily grouped - like these. Also the WGNs a few posts above. Trench pennants can be grouped by their trademark.

Here’s an example that I found online because I recently picked up the Pirates pennant. All of these were sold as a group in an old auction ... it certainly suggests that these are from the same manufacturer at about the same time. The Bees pennant dates this to 1936-1940. I suspect that these are early Trench but that’s just a guess.

Oh and I’m pretty convinced these are WGN. The specialized Cubs/White Sox versions and the 1950 ASG pennant (Comiskey) with same graphics strongly suggest the Chicago company.

Here is another series, maybe. Would be curious to know if these exist for other teams. Let's call it the Busch stadium series. You know, where Wrigley Field, Candlestick Park, and maybe others? look just like Busch stadium? The Giants pennant is pretty rare, so I suspect that others may be rare as well.

The Cardinals pennant may not be from the same series, but it is probably by the same maker, as the Cubs and Cardinals pennants share the same stadium image. Or maybe the St. Louis stadium image from this pennant was just the inspiration for the great mind that came up with this Busch series?

I also just noticed that the Giants and Cubs pennants have the same funny cut in the top left corner.

Any St. Louis pennant makers out there?

I know there are avid team and sport-specific collectors here, but I do like the idea of ‘sets’ and knowing what comprises of a complete set/pennant run.

I'm ready for Greg to start a website, maybe similar to what Fballguy has for football pennants, grouping pennants by maker/series.

Should be pretty easy. He can just take a picture of each wall in his house. :D

I recently picked up another 1934 Tiger cane pennant in a bulk deal I recently did. I've been on the fence about what to do with it since I already own one and see no point having two of them. I figured I'd offer it up here before moving on to an auction house. The pennant is made from a silk like material so it can be rolled up and stored in the tube. Once its stored it doubles as a cane. Pennant has some spots from being stored inside the metal tube but nothing major. Overall the pennant is in good shape and displays nice. The most recent sale was this past summer through Hunt Auctions and their pennant sold for $1200. I'm asking $850 OBO. I have more pictures if someone is interested so just shoot me a message.

Pretty cool! What size is the pennant?
