It is a vertical full-sized pennant. Not over sized or 3/4 size. The other known Reds pennant from 1919 is also full-sized, but horizontal.
It's not conclusive, but after so many years of collecting these things, I believe oversized pennants were gone prior to 1919. I think it's a good bet that oversized Major League Baseball pennants were made from the 1900s up until 1917 (perhaps 1918). If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, please post it! |
I know there's a BST, but thought this would get a better response here...
Does anyone have a nice condition 1969 or 1965 All Star Game Pennant they would sell or trade? Perhaps someone has a duplicate? Neither is all that rare or exotic, but I'd like to complete the ASG pennant run I have going. Just checked eBay, and neither one is currently listed. I never went after the 1969 version because it looks cheap and mass-produced. It kind of represents the end of the "artistic pennant" era. I never went after the 1965 version because I hate Picture Pennants. But now I regret having 2 holes in the pennant run. Just need 1965 and 1969, if anyone is looking to sell/trade. Thanks! Mark Ps. We are shooting a TSOG Video today, on All Star Game Pennants, to air during All Star Week. I just realized these voids when I pulled them all out... DUH :o |

And of course the 1969 ASCOs which are almost six feet long … better classified as jumbo sized |

On a side note... those are beauties. And if the Mets is for sale/trade, please drop me a note! |

Yeah I think you are basically correct, there are only a few isolated counter examples. The only dated pennants I’ve seen from the 1920s are all just full-size or smaller.
As for the Mets - thanks! - and will do. I somehow got one that was not faded. Here’s the 1969 dated version, which raises questions since it is sans MLB trademark. |
Greg loves showing off those “jumbo size” pennants. I don’t blame him. I’m just glad there’s not a Giants. I couldn’t stand it. :p

I have seen the Twins and the Reds, so I know that eight teams exist. I think it’s likely they were made for all teams, and I’d give an arm for either a Pilots or Phillies. |

Been cleaning out catalogs I have had for over 30 years and found some more interesting pennants
