Yes, perhaps a regional manufacturer. Do your others have the same image, for which this magazine cover might have been the inspiration?

Should've known Chris would break out an even more unique version (and in perfect condition, no less). It even has a little pennant, bringing this thread back on-topic!

Looks like the little pennant is pinned to his shoulder and hip, with the material unquestionably matching his uniform. That's a variation I've personally never seen. Very cool, Chris... thanks for posting!

Thanks, Mark. Hadn't thought about that little fella in a while and like you said, he's bringing the car back on the road with his pennant sash;)

That's so cool. Wonder who could have made them, and if there are other examples of a local or regional manufacturer who used the same image for a multitude of products?

Giving the thread a bump … was happy to acquire this, I have it in black but the condition of this one made it tough to resist. One of three different (known) versions with the Lou Boudreau head shot.

Awesome pickup Greg...

Love the vibrant colors against the jet black background. The diminutive Boudreau headshot in this version is such a cool addition.

Very stylish pennant Greg. Congrats.

Thanks Mark and Chris. Both of you being Reds collectors, here’s a question … I don’t know of any Reds scroll pennants by Trench from this era. Am I correct? I only know of the white ‘61s.

Also my bad, the one I just got is blue, picture below the black one I already had in slightly lesser condition. Identical except for the color of Lou’s cap (which may have simply faded on the top one).
