Made by Hortie Van of Pasadena. It's double sided - I guess so that it read "left to right" no matter what way the wind took it.

Rob, I may have asked you about this one already and I know it's a long-shot, but if anyone has ideas as to where it flew, please let me know. Thanks!

i wish I had some info for you, but I don't. The seller had no story?

your question lead to one of my own.....my Giants Wrigley flag is a white "San Francisco" on a purple background. The current Wrigley flags are an orange "Giants" on a black background. I'm 99.9% sure mine is legit, but when did they make this change?:confused:

Here are a couple of my favorites. The small pennant is from Luke Appling Day with the pin attached to it.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you have some scarce ones there. Great pennants! I had to google Johnny Groth :rolleyes:

Mark,
Those are really nice and I don't think most people have any idea how rare early over-sized pennants are. Especially in that condition. Even if you had the money to drop on a collection like that, good luck finding them in the next 10-20 years. I buy and sell a fair amount of pennants and do collect Yankees pennants for my own collection, but even as a seller I have to say that is an incredible grouping of pennants some of which you may have the lone example. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree....Mark's collection is amazing. I have rarely had a chance to buy even ONE oversized, early Giants pennant and when I have, the money has scared me off! :p

I thought the Reds had a monopoly on that style (there are 2 other Reds variations, albeit not as rare as the one above).

Mark and Chris-

This was the Reds pennant that really reminded me of the next year's Giants. I think the Reds was recently in an ITPC auction.

That's it. Definitely looks like the same manufacturer. Good catch!

Mark and Mike -- so many beautiful pennants!
And Mike H. -- right back at you -- I love that George Burns pennant.

Here are a few more from me.

Greg

So, sayhey Greg....it looks like you specialize in player (rather than team) pennants :confused:

Those can't be easy to find!
