Thanks Rob, Marc, Mike and Greg...
Regarding the sticks.... I agree with Hank that they are surprisingly few and far between. You'd think a lot more would have survived along with the pennants. Like Rob, I have saved a few though... In the '40s-50s, many of them came with a red or green bamboo cane that had a curved handle. In the '60s, they pretty much exclusively used a plain dowel rod. I imagine the dowel rod was far quicker/easier to insert because it is smooth... it must have been annoying to slide the bamboo cane into the spine, as it would inevitably get caught in there more than a few times. Can't even remember the last time I went to a game and saw vendors marching up and down the aisles with hoards of pennants and other souvenirs. It's now relegated to food and drinks, but the memories remain! |

I have this 34 tiger pennant that came as a walking cane. There is no spine on the pennant as the long end is sandwiched between the metal tube.

I have the standard version, felt with spine and two-colored tassels. Weird thing is, that exact lineup was never used in all of 1934. |
Best thread on the entire internet? :p

The Steinberg Rubber Maid Collection is something else. |
The pennant is made of silk which makes it somewhat difficult to display. I also believe there is another version of the silk kind out there where Cochrane's name is spelled wrong?
I've also never seen the non-silk version you have. If you ever decide to part ways with it let me know so I can decide what kid doesn't really need to go to college, lol. |

I especially like the Athletics and the giant lurking behind the Capitol. |
A cautionary tale for those inclined to clean pennants. Someone regrets it.
If it’s pre-1970, just don’t. https://www.ebay.com/itm/20488366037...mis&media=COPY |
