According to this one listed on Worthpoint, it is for Nilon Brothers concessions

Which then led me to this perhaps interesting book...

Good work, Marc!

That’s not a bad looking pennant….save for the “Officially Licensed Product” box. :cool:

Anyone in here snag this from REA??

I was bidding on it as an upgrade to mine (hard to believe that more than one of these actually survived). The REA example is undoubtedly the finest example to exist, and someone got a raging deal.

If I didn't already have one, I would've bid this pennant up lots higher than it ended up selling for. Incredible graphics, and a single-day event that took place 108 years ago!

Take a gander at the photos below, sent to me by the great forum member Dave E.... Hard to believe that a Car Company would not only pay, but persuade two MLB teams to come to Toledo for an exhibition game just to entertain the factory workers. Equally incredibly, the players all walked in procession from the factory to the field alongside the auto workers!

Imagine seeing Matty pitching to Cobb with Crawford on deck... yes, that really happened! A different day and age for sure...

How incredible to have that photo to go with the pennant!

Yes, it's the ultimate combo for a vintage pennant collector. Very difficult to find dead-ball era shots of people in the grandstands sporting pennants that are clearly identifiable. :eek:

That photo is great. I was an underbidder for the 1915 pennant but I managed to pick up the 1914 version. I'm on the lookout for photos of the 1914 game.

I agree with Mark in that I thought the prices were pretty reasonable for a 109 year old piece of history.

What's everyone's thoughts on the 1914 Braves Pennant in the same auction. I thought it was in pretty amazing condition considering it's age.

There is a crowd pic from the 1916 WS and fans holding dated Brooklyn (Robins? Superbas?) pennants … I think it was posted here. It was the NL version of the 1916 Red Sox which has surfaced in auctions. But I’ve never seen the Brooklyn outside of that picture …

Awesome pickup Gary... congrats! That one is just as nice (or even better) than the Tigers/Giants example. If a photo ever surfaces, please post it and I'll keep an eye out as well.
