Rob,
Those are some really nice vintage football pennants. Thanks for showing. I have never seen that dolphins generic version that you showed, must be a real tough one. In regard to the 1964 white Browns pennant, yes that is a "reprint" or printed much later. I have never seen a "real" or vintage version of that exact pennant. I have seen all of the other Browns versions that were shown. Those are some tremendous pennants as well. That Steelers / Cardinals pennant sold on eBay a few years ago. I bid on it, but didn't go too high considering the trimmed tip. I want to say it sold for $300-500. Extremely rare pennant and very nice condition other than the tip. I have never been one to tell someone what they choose to sell an item for, especially a very rare pennant. Someone may want or need it and be willing to pay well for it. Either way, it's nice to see that pennant as well. Good stuff is getting tough to find. Jason |
Not to beat a dead horse or bust anyone's chops, but I think that 1964 Browns pennant HAS to be a later release.
It looks like the later, stiffer, polyester-infused "felt." The hole suggests it had a cardboard "hang strip" (perhaps Wincraft?) attached to it. Are there maybe four staple holes on the border? Lack of tassels (not sure if this is indicative or anything). On baseball pennants, a league logo (MLB) denotes 1969 or later. Not sure when NFL licensing came into being. Again, not trying to disparage that pennant....just adding my two cents for sake of debate. |
^^^^ Jason beat me to it. :D

Yes...The 64 Browns white pennant came out in the late 90s, maybe early 2000s....I remember when they came out, some sellers were trying to pass them off as vintage....it was so obvious that they werent;);););) |
Love to add this one to my collection too....anybody seen one?

Is there no such thing as an original version of this Browns pennant? Or is there and someone just decided to reprint it?
I just picked that one up last week so I still have time to return it. Thought the price was too good...but a lot of people don't know what a pennant is worth so didn't worry too much about it. How about the one that came with it? For a reprint, the white one still seems relatively uncommon. I don't remember seeing one on eBay previously and there are none now. eBay item number:351942251790 Have to do a sold item search for it to come up. |
Also...When did the transition occur from soft felt to hard "felt"? I thought mid-60's seemed about right.
