I LOVE THIS GIVE ME MORE!
I have been trying to find a pic I just saw in a video, Glory of Their Times, a bunch of fans with oversized Red Sox “Royal Rooters” pennants. I skimmed through it but can’t find it. I’ll keep trying. But these pics are great, esp. the Colt 45s ... I did notice that the Dodger vendor had what appears to be two different pennant styles for sale ... all of the pennants match in design except for the Dodgers. |

Incredible stuff, everybody... this thread somehow just keeps getting better!
Here's my only related pic... Cleveland Indians personnel unpacking a treasure trove of pennants and souvenirs to be sold at the 1954 World Series. Sure wish we could go back in time, and raid the place! And the second pic is of one of the pennants seen in the image. If you look hard, you'll find it! |

I also loved this pic, posted by Bob W from 1950. The Brooklyn Bum Pennant is obscured, but is definitely in the Vendor's right hand. Note the little Swinging Batter towards the tail, and the bottom-half font of "Brooklyn". A perfect match, even though the magnificent Bum isn't visible.
This is the rarest version of the Bum to be found on a pennant (IMHO), and it's great to know that it's from 1950! Great stuff... let's keep it coming! |

Agreed Mark! At least maybe this stupid virus is good for something bringing all these awesome pics out of the woodwork. How bout a pennant and banner combo from series time in cincy!

REAL.... that last picture is fantastic!
Here are both of the Pennants from that great photo. Too bad the photo is B&W because the actual colors are gorgeous! |

That pennant is so rare in red (normally it's blue), and it looks great with the blue tassels. Very cool patriotic look. And the Banner is the best I've ever seen. I have never been able to find one that's not ripped to shreds, badly stained, terribly faded, or full of holes. Yours must be the best extant, and to have the matching pics.... WOW! |
There are so many things I love about this last day's posts...
That batch of Indians Pennants is by far the rarest variation from 1948. Just insane to see that many together! Great photo evidence of pennants being sold, some of which have a blunt tip. We knew that maybe 10% were made that way, and great to see the photos bear it out. Amazing to see which pennants coincided with others time-wise. Some that you might think were older were actually sold into the early '60s. Really cool to see these overlaps. Thanks to all for posting these wonderful photos! |
Nevermind…
Don't want to hog the thread with stuff that maybe 3 people might care about. |

Without question, today was the greatest day in Hey Pennant Guys history, only to be surpassed when Mark S. posts pics of his ENTIRE collection! (Speaking of which, Mark, time for another sale???)

Notice this pennant on the back wall.

It’s funny that you never see pennants with their original sticks anymore.
I’ll try to dig up some old photos in the next couple of days. |

1916 World Series pics

Oh man, how can anyone follow the burlesque girl waving the O's pennant in downtown Baltimore....
Here goes. Here's a picture taken at game #1 of the 1916 World Series, Brooklyn (NL) at Boston (AL)--although the game was played at Braves Field rather than Fenway to accommodate a bigger crowd. The woman on the far right is the wife of one of the principal owners, Ed McKeever. Before her and her entourage are no less than five Brooklyn pennants. As far as I know, only one has survived the past 100+ years: the blue "BROOKLYN" + batter pennant shown below (in the photo, it's hiding in the second row, between the ladies in front). The pair of "BROOKLYN" + crossed bats pennants I've never seen anywhere before; and the same goes for the pair of identical 1916 National League Champion "Dodgers" pennants hanging from the railing. I have, however, seen their Red Sox mate. The 1916 sox version is shown below. It appears to be a higher quality version of the Brooklyn one in that it is two-piece and multicolored. (I suspect the Brooklyn version was hastily thrown together at the season's end, when time was limited.) If anyone owns or has seen either of these this century, I imagine it'd be someone following this thread. (For a higher resolution photo, see: https://loc.gov/pictures/resource/gg...?loclr=blogpic ) |

Here's a couple...
Still looking for this issue of "Seater" magazine. The two ladies are circa. 1958. The one is wearing a Seals hat. |
Thanks, Mark. Finding companion pieces for anything is one of my favorite aspects of the hobby and I have no doubt that this pennant thread is far and away the best on the memorabilia side of things. AMAZING stuff fellas...

A few more pics...
I lost out on the big one from some sort of big wig gathering. I also lost out on the Holiday Casino. Those folks were headed to Opening Day 1958. Still one of my most wanted pennants. The "The GIANTS our CHAMPS" is dated to April 9, 1963. One lady had a '62 NL Champs pennant. |

Rob- what pennant is that in the "Giants Our Champs" pic? I can't quite make it out.
Is it the Orange one of these? And why the Colts? |

Great photos. Exactly what I was hoping for. Please remember to reference the exact date if it is available. Exact year is good too. These answer a lot of dating questions for those taking notes. It’s great to put exact dates with stuff we’ve all been assuming over the years. Thanks guys.

Ooops… I almost forgot about this one.
To locate a photo of this Single-day Exhibition Pennant from 1915 was beyond a "needle in a haystack". Many thanks to the venerable Dave E. of our forum, for amazingly finding and sharing it! Almost gives me chills to think that this pennant was displayed in those very stands in 1915, to watch Matty pitch against the likes of Crawford, Veach and Cobb! |
Awesomeness...
|
These are truly amazing to see. Especially this last picture! Thanks to all who have provided photos for us to appreciate and learn!

There’s a cool pic in an old Legendary catalog, used to establish authenticity of one of their pennants ... I asked on another thread for help finding it.

It is neat to wonder about the “travels” of our old pennants. Were they waved at a WS game 100 years ago? How many people owned it? Was it bought and packed away in an attic for 100 years? Your pic pretty well establishes the answer to that 1915 pennant, I doubt they were sold anywhere else or on any other date. |
Additionally, these pics are great for establishing pennant styles/groups ... keep em coming!

Haven’t seen these before. Common? Apologies for the terribly small pics.

Chris...
Those are both fairly prevalent. I believe there was a "find" of the 1966 pennant, that was likely unsold stock from that World Series. As a result, many of them are still found in NRMT-MINT condition. The 1965 Twins version is quite a bit rarer than the '66 Orioles. |
