Lettering in city name is identical on Brooklyn and St. Louis. Also similar construction. Here’s another that fits … I also think the Giants Cinderella Boys is in this mold.

Rare scores on Ebay are becoming...ummm...pretty rare. But this was a nice one. I had never seen before. I don't believe the maker of these has ever been identified. Artwork seems similar to a Joe Dimaggio out there. Potentially one of the "rarer" Jackie Robinson pennants too.

Once I was blind but now I see.

Rob, I saw that disappeared pretty quickly, and I assumed Jonsstats grabbed it. I believe Mark has one, but haven’t seen any others. Nice pickup. I don’t search eBay often enough to get any great finds anymore. Someone always beats me to them.

I got pretty lucky on this one. I had to scroll down a bit before I saw it which is exceedingly rare these days. I expected to get bad news when I hit buy it now but to my surprise it was available. Usually the good ones are gone within seconds.

Great score Rob...

So impossible to beat everyone else to the punch these days. Requires lots of persistence and lotsa luck. I do have one of these Pee Wees with a similarly blunted tip. Have never seen another.

The maker of these pennants did a number of Brooklyn Pennants, a couple of Braves and a NY Giants that I'm aware of. I think some of them say "My Fan" in small font, and most/all seem to be 3/4 size. Whoever the "mystery maker" is, I like their artwork a lot.

Everyone probably already saw this but just in case. Now available for 20% off (with coupon) if interested. Reputable dealer too.

Is there a way to tell how many minutes this was listed for before you swooped in?

I'm reasonably certain this mystery maker was AMCO, a local Brooklyn-based pennant maker that specialized in Dodger pennants in the late 1940s, early 50s.

More to come on AMCO in '23 on Pennant Fever, when time permits.

There’s another Dodgers pennant that, I think, has the same tiny batter graphic as the one inside the ‘D’. I think it’s a rare bum pennant, also not full-size but 2/3 or 3/4. Someone posted it here, maybe Mark? I know it looks familiar.

EDIT: Yep, Mark, back on page 5 … and yes it includes “my fan”
