Add it to your “Good Stuff I Used To Own” thread. :p

New arrival. Seems like it’s taken forever to arrive. Paid more than I wanted to because people suck, lol.

Several references attribute the player to being Carl Hubbell, although unproven I guess. Fantastic condition with tassels intact. Egner’s book says it’s “Very Rare”. 3/4 size, 1930’s.

Love this NY Giants design. Here is mine. For some reason, the black version of this pennant has a really wide spine. Most other versions tend to have an especially skinny spine, although I have seen a green with yellow version that also has this really thick spine. I missed out on a teal version of this pennant with red tassels a few years ago that was gorgeous. I simply forgot to bid (nobody remind ooo-ribay about this).

Yours looks to be in really nice shape! Vibrant colors!

Thanks. Yours too.

I think I've also see a purple version.

That’s stellar! I’ve seen the two orange and black variations, but I wonder why they made purple?

Nice, Mark! That looks great. It almost matches the purple pennant I first posted a few months ago.

I'm not sure of the exact age of these pennants, but the purple was a color associated with the Giants before orange and black. I think they first used orange and black in the mid 1930s.

I'll try to find the teal version... which suggests that the pennant color may have had as much to do with available stock as opposed to team colors.

Mini version, slightly different

Mark- is your purple pennant full size? Or 3/4?
