Today’s TSOG? Wow! :eek:

The fact that the one (and best IMO) Jackie Robinson pennant is probably the only to exist blows my mind.

It is a privilege to be “associated” with Mark and the rest of you guys!

Found this on worthpoint today, when looking for something else. Don't recall seeing this label before. Worton Novelties.

My guess would be they didn’t make it, just sold it.

Here are some others identified on worthpoint (or auction sites via Google) as having the Worton label. I know that Greg has talked about his belief that these are from an unknown NY maker. But Kyle believes some may be Trench (I think??).

Great stuff from Marc. Domer and I have been having some great email discussions (i.e. Trench vs Non-Trench) and Worton cane up. Observe where the company was located:

I'll take 100 football pennants for $15. Hell...Give me 200.

Referring back to the conversation around Post #6806

I recently picked up this mini New York Yankees American Knitwear pennant. It is very similar to the full-sized Keezer pennant I'm selling on eBay. I don't know where this conversation left off, but I wanted to provide these contributions.

Thanks, Erik. Crossed bats seem to be a common theme in this series.

About Worton, I look forward to hearing more from Kyle and others. It is interesting that the ad talks about price per 100. Makes it seem like high volume. Based on what's available on worthpoint, seems like the Worton and Epstein labels are both pretty rare (maybe 10 examples of each). But Trench labels are also pretty rare. So how to tell the difference between a maker and a down the line seller?
