Has anyone seen an example of the crossed bat Dodgers pennant from the 1916 WS photo?

Not I....

Looks to me to be a sewed letter (embroidered) pennant; not screen printed, like the others in the photo.

Pennants from this era often get mistaken for city/travel/souvenir pennants; but this one has the crossed bats--so, if any survived the last hundred years, you'd think the finder would realize its value as a ca. 1910s Brooklyn Dodgers/Robins baseball pennant.

Well done, professor! ;)

Nilon Brothers was indeed a family owned concessionaire operating in Pennsylvania. From 1971 into the early 1980s, they ran concessions at Veteran's Stadium for the Phillies and Eagles. Their agreement included both food and souvenir sales, including pennants.

I mention this because, sometime ago, we had a debate about those VET-marked pennants that surfaced around 1971 for numerous MLB teams, including the Phillies. The thought was that ASCO made these; and, "VET" was a concessionaire's mark attributable to the local company charged with selling merch at Veteran's Stadium....

Marc's discovery here, however, casts some doubt on this hypothesis, as we now know who that concessioner was; and, what their mark looked like.

That said, I'm kinda surprised we've never seen or discussed this "NB" mark until now. I can't recall seeing it on a Phillies pennant. What say you, Greg?

Bet Oooribay doesn't own one of these. A graded Giants pennant.

Sadly, I don't. I've got to get my Fun Foods pins graded first. People actually do that. BTW - these three are currently available on eBay, BIN for $1.04.

edit: at a quick glance every graded Fun Foods on eBay seems to be either a 9 or a 10. Thank goodness we have "experts" out there!

edit edit: The folks at PSA must get some good laughs when they're writing up invoices.

Just to be contentious (and because I'm bored) I call foul. 3" felt isn't a pennant. It's a facsimile of something that wants to be a pennant when it grows up. :D

Looks like it suffers from a chronic case of micro pennant.

Nope it's actually full size.... from the personal collection of Eddie Gaedel.

Hey Pennant Guys, I have come across a group of 21 American Nut & Chocolate felt mini pennants - they can’t be more than 3x1”. I have a couple of Yankee pennants among others. Same place had 15 pins. I did some research and found they are from the 50s. Was curious to the collectible value if anyone has any ideas. I put them on eBay and there is some initial interest although really have no idea if I’m getting lowballed or not. Appreciate any insights. Thank you.
