Yeah, mine never flew atop Wrigley (obviously).

But it could have ... thirty years ago, when the flags last looked like this.

My “joke” missed the mark….I was making a little “folds in the playoffs” joke. Love ya, Kyle!

The first pennant is from the same maker as those pictured in post 5962. NYC area company, mid1950-60s pennants, cloth. Unique spine material.

Second pennant is almost certainly from the “sliding runner” company, based on composition, size, stitching. These were 1940s-early 1950s.

Could this be the same company? The only link is the bum design and of course that could have just been pirated. But perhaps this simplifies our uncertainty.

Does this stuff keep you up at night, Greg? :p

I have one of these in which the Bum has fewer/coarser whiskers. The maker actually had an alternate/backup silkscreen of the Bum.

Awesome! Certainly the best looking bum. The Ad Flag bum with his huge claw hand belongs on the national predator registry.

Hey, my team didn't fold in the playoffs. We won the series that mattered most :)

If anyone's interested in a Wrigley Field reproduction burgee flag for their team, several still exist and can be purchased from ADFLAG's storefront on etsy, here:

There's even a San Francisco one left for Rob and Bocca to fight over!

I can attest for the quality of them. They might even last a full season on the rooftop above Wrigley.

Merry Christmas!

Damn you, Kyle! I needed that like I need a hole in my head. I already have two "game used" and I have absolutely no place to display it....but I bought it anyway. :p

No.

Glad you bought that, Rob! I almost almost almost did. Goes better with your collection.
