Here's a new arrival. Except for a little bit of the tip missing it's in pretty nice shape. For the price, it was just begging for a new home.

Nice pickup! That’s a toughie. There an identical Boston Braves version as well, so pretty safe to say it’s a first-year Milwaukee pennant.

I believe the Tigers is legit for what it’s worth. I generally look at Clean Sweep, but missed this one.

Thanks Jason. My questions about the Tigers pennant were down to the quality of it's construction. The uneven cut, the wavy stitching on the spine stood out to me. but the font and the tigers head looked good to me. The fact that the listing mentioned homemade and not hand-made, was another question for me.

I'd like to be educated about the early manufacturing processes if anyone has insight. For early pennants like Greg's Cubs and White Sox examples, I'm guessing these have been made on some sort of manufacturing process even if that was a single room in a shop somewhere? Sewing machines were in wide use by 1905 so I'm guessing these wouldn't have been hand stitched. Is that correct?

Clean Sweep scared me off by emailing me to tell me it was homemade so even they didn't know what they had. This consignor got a bit of a raw deal.

Kyle will know best. I can only speculate that this was the earliest pennant “series”, where a manufacturer made pennants of the same style for different teams. Felt has the feel of an army blanket. They are well made.

Acquired this hard to find Cubs pennant which I believe is from the 1930s. Odd colors with purple body, orange spine and red tassels.

That's a nice pennant. What size is it?

There's a similar one from 1945 but the graphics look a little different.

It’s 26 inches. The World Series pennant you picture (mine I believe unless you have a clone) is more like the one below.
