I'm mostly convinced that the company putting the stars on football and baseball pennants (with no MLB or NFL logos) was from New York. So I'm not totally shocked by the one-off version for the Jets.

The graphic is unlike anything of the era, it looks like it was sketched in ink (modern) and can’t crack, as opposed to screenprinted. Would like to see the stitching to compare to known Keezers; if not similar then I’d lean heavily towards this being a modern production or a fugazi.

That Jets pennant is seriously cool.

Here's a new arrival for me this week....51 ASG.

Thanks. That picture is after I used Retro Clean. I didn't leave it in for very long (only about 5-10 mins) because...well... it's a red pennant. :-) I've also had a bad experience where I left a pennant for too long and the white started to come apart. and the red bled through.

I might have another go in the future, if I feel like gambling. But I'm happy with it as it is for the moment.

Just a heads-up to let the "pennant guys" know a new video was just posted on one of my favorite all-time pennants. Hope you enjoy...

What a spectacular Cubs pennant. And the condition is incredible. Did the Cubs also have a “B.B.C.” version of this? It’s definitely made by the same maker as that series.

Also a great pic from what seems to be Forbes Field during the 1960 WS, cool to see all the Trenches hanging.

So … the painfully obvious Mitchell and Ness late 1990s Orioles pennant sold recently under the mislabel of “circa 1954”

https://www.ebay.com/itm/20421982548...Bk9SR6TIlP7cYQ

… and the new owner was in such a hurry to flip it (also misstating it as circa 1954) that he used the same exact picture from the first sale! Someone please make it stop!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/36418407401..._7cYQ&LH_BIN=1

EDIT: Original picture slightly cropped to not show edge of table. My bad.

It’s ebay. It will never stop.

Sadly, you are right. Here’s the proof BTW

It’s actually a shame it isn’t vintage. It’s maybe the best Orioles logo. But as Mark believes, it was never used in color on a full-size pennant. Here it is on a 3/4 size. Trench used a rather ugly blackbird logo instead for many years.

Also interesting about that oriole is that it is among the logos on that 1956 kids book that I post ad nauseum. Most of the other logos were WGN and the Reds was Keezer. Chisox and Phillies were not used.
