Is anyone familiar with this maker? It is a label on a large oversized 1915 pennant. I am curious if they were a small local maker or if they produced more broadly or became known under a different name.

Thanks
Joe

Joe,

I'm not familiar with any maker d/b/a "College Flag Co." However, I am familiar with two pennant makers located in Columbus, OH doing business in the mid-1910s: Ohio Pennant Co. and H.A. Morgan Co. See below examples.

As concerns the latter company's label ... it sure resembles yours, doesn't it?? Same font. Both say, "COLUMBUS, O" which strikes me as kind of unique.

Maybe Mr. Morgan sold the business by 1915, and the new owner adopted your name? Hard to imagine there being three pennant makers in one college town....

I think that theory has merit. I knew Domer wouldn’t let us down!

Thanks Domer! I think that makes sense.

Late '50s would be the very earliest guess. Probably more like early 1960s (and worth $70 - $80 at best) :rolleyes:

Who were the bootleggers and why were they so good at quality control?

Those “plain” Trenches are beautiful, including both of these.
