Just checked the Vintage Pennant Guide reference book. There is one on page 10. Jerry |
Thanks to the members above who made such nice comments :cool:
Actually, I believe the '49 All Star Pennant is the rarer of the two. Both are scarce, but that '49 circular design is never seen. I've seen only one other, that was offered by Hunt Auctions. So if Jerry's example came from Hunt's, then that is the lone one. Rob: FWIW, I also admire Jerry's impeccable framing and presentation style (and actually prefer his to mine as well!) Nobody does it better than Jerry, and Board Members like "Mike H", "Scott G" and "Jester", just to name a few. The reasons I do mine the way I do is three-fold... 1. I don't like to hand the pennants over to a third party Framer. Just my own OCD affliction... would much rather do the framing myself. 2. Double-matting them that way requires an adhesive (tape or glue) or using a micro-thin "fishing line". Something to hold the pennant firmly against the back mat. Even though experienced framers can do this virtually invisibly, I can't bring myself to tape the reverse or stitch through the actual pennant. 3. Cost.... By doing it all myself (with sectional frame components) I save at least $120 per pennant on framing. 50 framed pennants X $120 is over $6,000 I've saved in framing cost... that's more disposable money for pennants! Alan: Unfortunately, that A's Pennant is a Mitchell & Ness Repro :( |

One more hard to find pennant - 1955 World Series
Pennant was found in an attic back east. Leaky roof - rain caused the dis-coloration but no holes, tears etc. I used Mark's framing technique for this one. :D Jerry Sage |
^^^^ That is one cool pennant! Is the fringe on the right end "faux"? Are other pennants known in this same style? Too bad about the discoloration. :(

Not sure what you mean by by "faux". It is all in tact and 100% original. I have seen a few of these 1955 WS pennants in the past. Jerry |
Thanks Mark! It is good to know. I having been having a run of extremely good luck lately so I am bound to have some duds. Luckily, it only cost 25.00 and my recent Brimfield finds easily pay for that.

Good to hear.... Even at $25, it wasn't a bad buy. I think these retail for around $35 - $40. And this is a tougher variation for them.
Eventually, you will come into a few vintage gems. Please be sure to post them when you do! |

It's both actually! The fringe along the spine is real. The "fringe" at the tip is faux (painted on). Very unusual and desirable variation.

Here's one of the very few others (image formerly from Mike H) that has a fringe, rather than tassels. Must've been a short-lived New York thing ;)
