Thanks Kyle. I hadn’t realized Spalding distributed Repro Co. pennants.

Here is a banner of mine, c.1920, measuring about 60’’.

Last night was Hunt's Annual Super Bowl Eve football auction. Not too much in there that excited me, but it's always interesting to see what things sell for. Some Baltimore Colts pennants went for ridiculous amounts...Such as this one, which could've been had for $95 on eBay (in better condition too, just to pour a little more salt in).

People always seem to overpay to the auction houses.

Equally if not more absurd...

And I "get" this one because of the rarity and that game's immense importance. But it still sold for a price that must've made the consignor giddy with joy...

A couple of recent arrivals.

The 1936 Giants mini-pennant is about 9" long without the tassels. It came together with the pin. Anyone have any insights about it?

The pin is almost certainly 1951 or 1954. For some reason, they are very common….although not with the giant ball! :p

Thanks Rob, but I'm pretty sure the pin is from 1936. The difference is noted by the style of the 'S' in GIANTS.

Paul Muchinsky details this in his book

I'm keen to hear thoughts on the mini pennant. I'm guessing there's no way to know the manufacturer.

I posted the question over at VFC but I was advised to ask over here so here goes...

I purchased this pennant a few months ago. I do not know if its baseball, football, college, high school. It may not even be a sports pennant. I purchased it because I liked it.

Can anyone enlighten me what year (i know its pretty early) and what the approximate value is?

The pennant is oversized, approx 33". The felt is soft and thick and the letters seem sewn in because they are raised. It is definitely high quality.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had forgotten about that distinction. I have the same as yours, also with the big tin ball. Yours is 1.25", correct? I also have the 1951/54 pin in both 1.25" and 1.75."

As far as the pennant manufacturer, I can't help you. :(

Yep, mine is 1.25". Any ideas how to display / store the pin with the ball charm? That ball charm is cool but at 1.5" it doesn't fit into the normal display cases for pins.
