That's Mrs. Ed McKeever, far right, wife of Brooklyn Dodgers/Robins owner. To my knowledge, only one of these pennants survived. Look carefully: there's actually five pennants displayed. The fifth was this one, held by the third woman from the left.... |
Fantastic picture, Kyle. Interesting (to me) that the NL Champs pennants appear to be all white. The Red Sox versions had a left hand panel of red. Speaking of those, when I did a google search for pictures of those, I noticed one sold in 2000 for $688….one sold in 2007 for $1700….one sold in 2017 for $4200. Seeing a trend, here?

Here's a super cool type 1 I just got this morning. Bucky Walters with his son holding the 1940 World championship pennant in front of their Christmas tree. I love how it's mentioned on the back slug as well.
Also cool bonus that I hadn't noticed till right now. There is some kind of Statue or Figurine on the mantel that appears to be making a jumping catch, as well as a bat laying down.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...03c65357c3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d439a06720.jpg |
Great photo with all those Dodgers pennant. Love it. So this confirms that the blue pennant shown is from 1916 specifically. Is that new information? I mean sure we could have assume there was more reason it got produced for their pennant winning year vs. say 1914 or '15, but is this new info?
And maybe a reason there are so few of these great, old, (oversized) pennants is because they were mainly sold for the World Series? |
