Here's the photo from game #1 of the 1916 WS, courtesy of the Library of Congress....

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?

Thanks Mark! That is very cool coming from you. Couldn't imagine there was a Reds pennant you have never seen!

Looks like a Louisville Slugger black World Series bat.
