That's why I said we will probably agree to disagree.

Completely agree.

A Yard of the National Game. Note the fully grown ferocious Bear Mascots...

Burgundy oversized pennant with Full Bear...

Another early one with full-grown Bear...

And another...

Frank Chance's Cubs. The only one that's not burgundy, but still with the full-grown Bear. This was definitely the norm for Teens Cubs Pennants. The real challenge would be to find one from that era with a true Cub Mascot.

I am familiar with Cubs and other vintage pennants and have seen all that you have presented. As I said, I have sold at least three of the style we are talking about in the past. I have a different opinion.

The Lincoln Park zoo opened in 1868...maybe it's from there??? Every one of the Cubs pennants with the real bear has the word Cubs or baseball on it. I think it's a zoo or travel pennant.

Completely disagree on this one. Zoo pennants typically said "Cincinnati Zoo", "Bronx Zoo" or "Lincoln Park Zoo". And they were almost all 3/4 size, which was more manageable for a child or tourist to shlep around.

Don't have time to post a ton more, but here are other early Baseball examples of just the City and Mascot...
