Erik, very nice. Your ‘63 LAD is in exceptional condition, I have one but it is faded. Yours is the first I’ve seen with vibrant colors. Never saw that Angels before, either. Love the Braves, it appears to be an early Keezer based on construction.

Is the “tiger tag” on the back of the ebay pennant also Wabash Pennant Co.?

No, it is not....

The eBay pennant was screen printed; and, the label on the back bearing the silhouette of a tiger is the mark of The Reproduction Co. of NY.

I remember that Wabash version.... Wabash was a Chicago-based pennant maker doing business in the early turn of the century. Obviously, someone copied the other maker's work. The Wabash pennant, you'll note, was sewed letter--not screen printed.

These two pennants illustrate an interesting point concerning ca. 1910 base ball pennants: not all makers had access to the screen printing method!

I just posted some new content on Repco over on Pennant Factory, for those interested in learning more about them and their work....

I knew you’d know! :cool:

edit: If you make a repro of the Repco Giants, put me down for one!

Lousy condition aside, my brain can’t process this pennant …

I like the six little pink shacks out front!

So…..is this a known pennant or what? :confused:

Never seen a 1969 version like that. I wonder if the MLB logo was added to old stock to make them salable.

Can't think of a better explanation. It must've sat dormant for over a decade before someone decided to slap on that MLB logo. Whatever the explanation, that one wins the ugly award for January.

Oh, I’m sure if we tried, we could find uglier.

Only thing is it looks like it's got synthetic piping on it. This woven material generally started in mid 50's up thru late 60's. I wonder if it was just a bunch of material laying around that "they" decided to use. It doesn't look like the MLB was added later. Appears to be same screen. Very strange.
