Thanks for that. My pennant measures 34" x 11 1/2" so maybe it's by Trench but from a different year?
No offense meant, Gary, but the Gettysburg looks way to pristine to be 100 years old. Just my opinion.

No offense at all. I got with a few other pennants and thought it would something to learn from. Any thoughts on it's origin and age?

Right.... I still remember when Mastro/Legendary auctioned his original concept art of the Senator. T'was super cool, but just another underbidder status for me.

Most early 1900s pennants are heavy and extremely durable. Almost all of my oversized baseball pennants from that era have an army blanket-like feel to them. Also the stitches tends to be very tight and small, which is why you usually see these with tassels intact and the spine firmly attached. Some even have the stitching at the top and bottom of the spine (i.e. along all four edges). With sewn on logo and letters there is no cracking, seemingly the only real threat to condition are moths, which do seem to like the old fabric.

That Gettysburg pennant sure seems like it’s around 100 years old to me, but would defer to Domer for a more accurate estimate.

Sounds reasonable to me. How would I know? It’s not like I actually own any oversized pennants. :mad: At any rate, it’s in fantastic condition!

Asking the experts for any information on these 1980 Olympic Pennants. Cheap, modern style and regular full size - just wondering if anyone remembers these. Sold at Lake Placid? One has a Pepsi logo? Thanks in advance!!

Update: Found a video on YouTube from an exhibition game vs a NHL team. Here is a screenshot showing two of these pennants.

Hey Jon .... really nice ... I don’t recall seeing these in 20 years or so following eBay. That’s the only info I can provide. Both are keepers!

My 1979 NBA All-Star Game pennant While not a felt vintage and modern to a collector, its special to me because I was in attendance with my Father. The pennant was gifted to me by a co-worker who knew I collected and was also in attendance. It is a tough one to find.

They are around, but they are tougher to find. The thing that holds them back is they are so plain.

Very cool Adam, can’t say I’ve ever seen it before. Thanks for sharing!
