The Phillies pennant is from a distinct but not yet known series, identifiable by a thin coarse texture to the lettering. The Cinderella Boys Giants pennant and the 1954 Indians with the names inside a baseball are from the same maker, as is this Browns pennant. They are all pretty tough and the Phillies may be the toughest.

Four great pennants, Erik! If you ever get tired of the NY Giants, I’m your guy! :p

Thanks, guys. I don’t know if you all agree, but finding rare pennants or ‘good deals’ seems harder and harder. Now, if I only had a display like Jordan!

Any examples of similar pennants to the Phillies and Browns series?

Here are a couple more ...

Have a question, but first this nice addition, got a good deal for it. Tigers had such cool pennants and I loved how they often show the year. Also it is the first 1940-dated pennant for me. It led me to write down the pennants I have with years/dates ... my oldest dated pennant is from 1913, and I have at least one from 1939 through 1969 now, with the exception of 1952 and 1953. It then occurred to me ... I don’t think I’ve seen any dated pennants of any type from 1952 or 53. No dated scroll pennants, and I don’t think there are any WS pennants that denote these years. The Tigers dated their pennants up to 1951, I believe.

Anyone have a 1952 or 1953 dated baseball pennant? Curious ...

There is a 1952 dated scroll pennant for the Brooklyn Dodgers with the Clown mascot. But like so many others, I sold it a few years back. One of about 25 that I really regret selling.

Nice pickup Greg... I sold that one too, a few months ago. :(

Amazing that you got a good deal on it.... prices are climbing fast, and seems impossible to win anything these days. Congrats- it's a beauty.

Amazing graphics! Replicating Cobb's charge into the stands to pummel a disabled heckler, perhaps?

Ugh yes I have the 1952, forgot about it! So that leaves 1953 as the missing link. (Three upper tassels on this one!)

I'm also partial to pennants with a date.

I recently picked up this 1957 Braves pennant. It's not the rarest but the condition was pretty good and the price was right.
