Not mine (pic from worthpoint). It seems to be a mix of burgundy and purple. There is also blue.

Seen it in blue, and now thanks to Marc, in purple.

Trench went crazy on 1954 championship pennants. Maybe 6 variations of Indians and 2 for the Giants, this being the other

I'm very happy with how this turned out (if I do say so myself). All it took was a $25 27x40 poster frame.....and about two hours of finagling! :p I spray glued some catalog pages to the back and cut out little windows so you can see the two tags.

Very nice framing!

Awesome framing job, Rob! Now that's thinking creatively. How did you cut/tailor the frame and glass to adhere to the "fishtail" shape of the pennant?

You must have some amazing tools!

Thanks, Mark. I started with a very cheap frame - thin plexiglass and plastic edging. So, it just takes a “scoring knife” to cut the plexi. You just score it until it feels like you can snap it. For the fishtail, I had to cut all the way through. For the edging, I just use a utility knife and a little trial and error on the angles. I like that these frames really compress the pennant and those deteriorating tassels can’t move.

Rob, I think you need to start a YouTube channel that teaches us how to replicate such fine craftsmanship.

Looks great, love the cut-out windows on the reverse.

How about I do a guest spot on your Pennant Factory channel?

I do enjoy figuring out low-end display options. I had had a few cocktails Saturday night and it was all I could do to keep myself from starting this project. I’m glad I waited until Sunday. It wasn’t exactly rocket science but it did require a little bit of thought.
