My latest pickup isn't as exotic but it's a nice clean example. 1970 Senators.

I did not as these are not in my wheelhouse but I know who has it and I'm going to try getting it at the end of the month

There is a crazy $ on a cleansweep result for one but my guess is it's an anomaly

Nice! How is the photo affixed? It’s a much cleaner look than staples. :p

Thanks guys. The photo is fixed cleanly (I'm guessing with an adhesive). I far prefer that to staples.

OK. So there’s a window cut in the felt. 👌

Absolutely LOVE this. Don’t know of any ASCO team picture pennants besides this one and a bunch of Twins.

Bought this out of curiosity the other day, to learn (with the much appreciated help of a board member) that this dates to 1908-10 based on the Spalding tag. Detroit Tigers? Missouri Tigers? Will never know I suppose. Though I’m not sure if college pennants with only the mascot name were ever a “thing”.

Mr. Domer, what do you know about Spalding pennants?

Cool pennant! The color scheme would suggest Missouri.

Well, they definitely offered pennants for sale via their catalogue. And, sometime after 1910 or so, Spalding distributed Reproduction Co.-made collegiate and MLB pennants.

For example, these two were definitely made by Repco; and yet they bore this more contemporary looking "Spalding" label on the reverse....

Why the updated label? It was required (by Repco, no doubt) that the legalese, "Patent Allowed, Patent Applied For" appear on the product to protect the patented method (a.k.a., the "Udall Process") used by Repco to print such detailed graphics on felt.

Spalding also distributed other pennant makers' products throughout the 1910s. Here's a 1916 excerpt from one of their catalogues showing that year's offerings....

Note that the model "S" retailed for $1.50. Adjusted for inflation, that's over $40 in 2024 money. So, not cheap!

I've seen other pennants with more traditional Spalding labeling, like yours Greg, and they featured that same woven spine look. I do agree: yours likely pre-dates 1910.

Good stuff Kyle! Thank you.
