I bought 2 of the same 1940s pennant. As expected the wonky spine on one of them ironed out easily. The reason why the spine looked funny was because one side of the spine isn't attached to the pennant. I've added photos of the back of the pennants where the spine is attached.

Am I right that these look like the spines have been re-sewn. (I don't have a problem with it either way...they didn't cost much.)

Looks original to me ... hold up to a light and see if there are holes from a previous stitch. These pennants of still unknown origin/maker are very cool but sometimes have production issues with the spine, including two pieces sewn continuously as one.

Hi Marc...

Great Astros pennant. Impossible to find the white cloth version in that great condition with no holes or soiling. Really a beautiful example.

To answer your question... Yes, I do have the elusive 1914 Matty World Tour Pennant. But mine is a unique mustard yellow version. I have never seen this unusual color on any other pennant. Hopefully the annoying sideways pic at least portrays the color accurately.

And to Greg's point, the extended spine is another pretty unique feature. I have seen similar elongated spines (in lieu of tassels) on auto/boat/cycle racing pennants from the teens... a short lived phenomenon, for sure. Attached is a pic of an oversized teens Tacoma Tigers pennant with a similar extended spine (albeit to a lesser extent).

Congrats to Greg for landing the Matty pennant in REA. It was my favorite piece in the entire auction (biased, though I am!)

Thanks Mark, very STOKED to finally own this!! I’ve followed it from auction to auction and proud to say it isn’t going anywhere......👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks. The one that has only one line of stitching on the spine seems to have holes in the spine where it was previously stitched. A light from the back seems to indicate that there was once stitching there too. So for some reason someone removed one line of stitching from spine.

Erik,
That Muskies pennant is incredible. I’ve never seen one. I don’t really look for Muskies stuff, but have some items. I pretty much stick to Mpls Lakers stuff. That Maple Leafs one is really nice too. Some of those used to have a team photo stapled on top where the box is. Others came without. Both had the same writing or print. Either way it awesome and in great shape for a white pennant.

I love that Phillies pennant Erik. It looks to be in great condition. Very nice pickup.

Phillies pennant is extremely rare, and very cool ...

Very nice dude...Never saw that Muskies before. It's getting harder and harder to say that about a pennant.

That is a funky looking Phillies pennant. Love the Giants too.

Awesome Erik!

Two "toughies" and two "impossibles". And amazingly, all four look to be in great condition. Great post, and it's nice to be back talking pennants!
