Hank, here’s a pic of it along with my 6 footer, both stamped 1969. I had another one with some wear but just acquired a mint version along with two Senators repros and a beat up ‘69 Trench. This was the only one in the lot I wanted, incredibly hard to find it without cracking in the logo which is VERY thick paint.

ASCO also made a cool 1970 Senators picture pennant which I haven’t seen in quite awhile.

Thanks Greg. I'll leave it alone. Any idea who made them? I thought it might be Trench because AdFlag didn't use tassels.

I forgot to answer that and just revised. Don’t think Trench. Here’s the 1950 Trench Phillies. It has been suggested that it is Norsid (sp?) out of Yonkers or NYC but I have my doubts, I’ll make that case after dinner.

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?

You might run a “bleach pen” over the spines....

That is a tough Senators pennant, and the 6-footer is just off the charts. The 1970 picture pennant used to be fairly common, I guess everything is getting collected up. The other Senators picture pennant from 1964 is much tougher than the 1970, by a factor of three or four to one, I would guess, but it has been a while since I've seen either one.

That could work; I would add, if you do that, run a dowel or a vinyl strip through the opening to protect the red underneath ... but even if you get near the stitches it could soak through. Very very careful!

Here’s a Norsid pennant; this has a NYY sister version. Very very different than our mystery sliding runner pennants. These have tassels and a unique very thin spine, almost no room for a dowel.

The bleach comes out more like a gel than a liquid. It’s pretty “controllable.”

Thanks. To me, the spine and the graphic in my Phillies pennant looks similar to Mark's NY Giants pennant from post #4703 and the Phillies pennant in your post (#4712).

Same maker?

I’m pretty confident saying those are all the same maker as yours. Now if we could only figure out who it is!
