I really liked this one...the cowboy boots, the 10 gallon hat, the crossed bats for the "X", etc. Even with the staining, it got a pretty good price.

That one is really cool...being from Texas and all.

It might be the only good (non generic) Texas Rangers pennant ever made. I think I’ve seen one other variation, but it was so long ago, the memory is fuzzy.

I was surprised it hit the price it did. I've see nicer ones sell for less. Timing is everything.

Yep, that’s it. Thanks, Rob for refreshing my memory. Pretty cool (and rare) for a more modern pennant.

I just posted a new piece on Pennant Fever covering a short-lived 20th century pennant maker we've never really discussed; and I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on it. This month, we'll take a look at Salem Screen Printers, a New England company more known for their shirts and sportswear; however, during the late 1980s/early 1990s, they made a few pennants I'm sure we've all seen that, in my opinion, warrant some recognition among us pennant collectors today.

See: https://pennantfever.weebly.com/

Also, I've posted new content on my other site: Pennant Factory. There you'll find some interesting material on "caricature pennants"; and the much discussed "grommet pennant" we've all been mystified by.

See: https://pennantfactory.weebly.com/

Whatever you decide to read, I hope you enjoy it. ;)

Next company on deck: The Reproduction Co. of Brooklyn, NY.

Great articles Kyle. I particularly liked the grommet pennants. I'm probably slow on the uptake but it never occurred to me that the grommets were a way to lower cost and reduce sewing. Thanks.

As it's been a bit slow on this thread lately, here's an update on the pennants in post #6529. I gave them a bit of a clean and they tidied up well.
