Greg, did any of these three dueling scroll pennants feature tassels?? I seem to recall the '39 having them; but perhaps not on the others?

Keezer Mfg. Co., art department, new photos

If you haven't checked out my Pennant Fever post on Keezer Mfg. Co. in a while, you may want to revisit it. The Plaistow Historical Society reached out to me a few weeks ago and shared a number of photos and newspaper clippings featuring company employees hard at work at their Plaistow plant over the years.

One little gem I'll preview here concerns a mid-century article on the art department and its personnel. For years we've wondered who the artists were behind some of our favorite pennant artwork, right? Well, now we we know who was responsible for Keezer's art....

Great stuff.... Trouble is, now I want to see what's below those scroll pennants. ;)

It's a never-ending smorgasbord of inredible pennants. Should be designated as "The Great Wall of Thetahat".

But to stay "on-topic", I have the identical 1940 WS Scroll version (Reds/Tigers) in green felt with yellow graphics.

Agree, that's a beautiful pennant. Have seen it before and wished I had one. The cardinal pennant that is.

Thanks Kyle. I enjoyed the updated Keezer post. Great to see those photos.

I saw these at the National in Baltimore years ago, but he didn’t want to sell just the Yankees. I thought about buying the pair and selling the Cards, but obviously didn’t. Nice 1939 also, I think Ron Cunningham had that one for sale at one of the Chicago nationals. Fantastic condition.

I don’t think those are grommets…. I think they’re thumbtack depressions.

My ‘39 does not have its tassels but ‘41 and ‘47 do (tucked behind).

No … on this pennant they aren’t grommets but I meant it’s the same company as the one who used grommets. I just referred to it as the “grommet” company (with quotes). It seems as if after 1940 they did away with the grommets and stitched the tassels to the pennant, still without a spine. There is typically a clover design where the grommets used to be.

In the pic below only the 1939 dated pennant has grommets. Gotta be a Midwest company …

(On another note, I’m always looking for color variations of these Browns pennants … I think I’ve seen blue?)
