The same batter graphic appears on a few pennants from the mid 1910s, including a Federal League (Chicago?) pennant and a 1915 Phillies. I think this originated from a magazine cover. The makers didn’t worry about details I guess.

I was watching that auction and ready to bid. I probably overthought it but the price got too high for me considering the condition of the pennant.

I gotta move to the UK!

I just stumbled across this pic in my computer files. Do any of you guys have this black version? I've never seen one (except for, obviously, in this picture I saved).

Great looking pennant, even with its condition issues. Seller posted a few more pictures than another pennant seller we know...

When I first saw it ... I thought he was wearing shorts! :eek:

(A foreshadowing of unis to come??)

Exactly... details be damned...

The same Bunting Batter image was also used for the only known St. Louis Browns Oversized Pennant and a Miracle Braves Pennant that I have. It was also used on an issue of Baseball Magazine. I loved the "crossed bats" motif on the Chisox Pennant, but heard that his unusual bunting technique led to some broken fingers. :rolleyes:

That looks really cool in black. Never seen that reversed color variation. Sweet!

Well, the pennants that I purchased finally arrived…. :(

Hopefully they weren't damaged. Unless it's a crazy expensive pennant, I actually prefer them to be shipped gently rolled like that. It saves on the shipping costs and they generally arrive in good condition.

I've had some pennants arrived folded (and I'm using the term folded generously) and stuffed in an envelope. :eek:

What are your new arrivals?

Eager to see the new arrivals for vintagedeputy as well... that loosely rolled technique is the new normal.

As for the part in bold.... same here about the folding. :mad: Amazing how these things can survive unscathed for 75 years. But just takes one bad ebay seller to fold it to conform to a manilla envelope, thus cracking the beautiful graphics for eternity. Such a pisser.
