Thanks for posting those, Rob. Looks like everything is there :)

I’m sure I could blow right by something with a subtle font/color variation.

Pennants and my 800+ pins can test your powers of recall.

Mysteries, mysteries
 

Just when I thought things were starting to make sense.

I thought all these WS pennants were early Trench. But I'm having a tough time seeing how the two '49s are made by the same company. The Dodgers scroll surely is. The WS is a tick smaller/narrower, different texture, and the number font very different while Trench's digits are very distinct. Also the WS has blue tassels; Trench's almost always has same color as spine.

Now the '49 WS pennant seems to be from same maker as '55 and '57 as they share general design. The Ebbets graphic is slightly different but NYY Gate 6 on the later ones is same as on the team pennant (which has all indications of Trench). That's what i thought connected them all.

These are great, Rob. I'm still after the elusive '69 cloth ASCO Giants. Same as this one in your pic which I am posting here. I've only seen one - had it in my possession as I bought a lot, but it was so beat up (and not described as such) that I returned it. I've *never* seen the A's in cloth.

But then I have *only* seen the Senators in cloth - not felt - so maybe they used cloth for a few years with the same '69 stamp. But then they also made some with a 1970 stamp ...

(Okay, it's a snow day, fellas ... no school ... what else am I supposed to be doing?)

EDIT: I do have the A’s in 1969 felt ... but the Giants is hard in both materials with that dated MLB stamp.

Truly astonishing collection, Rob, especially considering they didn't start until 1958! The Giants should make a display at the ballpark, that would be a must-see for their fans. Which Senators pennant are you referencing, Greg, do you have a picture?

Odd Mariners
 

Not sure why I like this one - obscure but cool and can't find info on this design?

That was discussed recently. Either go back a few pages or hang tight.

The best Mariners pennant to exist, and a real toughie. I have it with yellow felt and blue graphics (the reverse of yours).

This is from that obscure series which includes the Padres, Rangers, Brewers and Mariners. The very last series of pennants to feature original artistry and no MLB logo.

Great M's pennant.... Hang on to that one!

It's been a bumper week for pennant deliveries here. I picked these two up in a lot of Phillies Pennants. The auction listing had these 2 amongst a number of 70s/80s pennants.

The artwork and font on both pennants looks the same. Are they made by Trench?

Also, is it even worth trying to clean the spine?

Cool pennants Gary. Top one is very rare with tassels. I wouldn’t touch the spine. A natural creaming to the white gives it a good look IMO. Also the red underneath may run into it if wet. I think they are very nice as-is.

As for who made it ... mystery. Not Trench, but another big maker that we have yet to identify.
