Close but no cigar...

Before and after pictures of my most recent pickup.

^^^^ Bleach? Oxyclean?

I started with warm water to to get the surface dirt off. Followed it up with a few rounds of Retro Clean to get the yellowing out. Thought about hitting it with bleach but decided to quit while I was ahead.

Nice pickup and a great job cleaning it.

Good call. I don’t think the orange would have handled bleach.

Read description. Thoughts?

You hear a lot of 70 year olds use the term “legit” in their daily vernacular. Seems “legit” to me

To me, the "felt" looks more modern than 1958. If original to '58, it would be made of cloth or a softer felt. Looks like an early '70s re-strike to me.

That's a reasonable description, Greg. Trench made that pennant; and, they made a 1960 and 1961 photo pennant using the same "LOS / ANGELES" script with team photos bearing 1960 or '61 dates--all shot at the Coliseum. So, the story checks out. See below pennant. (source: Doug Goodman's spectacular collection.)

...But, if it was purchased at the ballpark in 1958, it didn't come from Dodger Stadium; rather, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where they played in those early days.
