Also, this year's world series featured a 26-man roster. To accommodate the extra name, I had to drop the manager's name off the scroll. The Day-Glo colors were hand painted using watercolors. |

Thanks to Bocca for making this available to me. He found himself an upgrade, which I hope we'll see soon. I'm not really a "condition guy" to the extent some of you are, but the condition of this gave me pause. Bocca thinks, and I agree, it may have been stored for a long time under a black pennant. In the end, I bought it because there have only been three of these seen. The more common (but by no means common) version has no white paint. These are one of only two varieties of Giants pennants which show Seals Stadium (1958-59).
Question for Kyle - wouldn't the white paint necessitate an entirely different screen than the all black graphics? The all black I've shown is the "fat font." I also have one with the same font as my new acquisition. Question for you other guys - any cleaning tips at all? I tried a few things. I dipped the tip in some mild soapy water and the water immediately turned orange. When I blotted it on a white towel, it left an orange triangle. I think I'm gonna have to live with it. :p |

Great variation.... the toning just gives it some character. These things are supposed to look vintage because they are! Congrats on the awesome and rare pickup!

Here is the upgrade. Has a broken bottom tassel, but is otherwise exceptional.
Rob is right in that he and I have now seen three of these. One on worthpoint and now his and mine. I know he knows some advanced Giants collectors that do not have a copy of this. I think that Rob's was stored on top of a black pennant. If the black pennant had been on top, the white spine would have been affected. I've never had any luck getting that type of dye transfer out of a pennant. |
^^^ Yeah, probably on top of, because the back is even worse.

I love this pennant. It's by Trench; and yet it's so different from the Dodgers/Coliseum pennant, from the same era. Because the felt was orange, it was light enough to print the stadium graphics directly over the felt, sans white underbase. You couldn't do this if the felt was any darker or else the black ink detail would have no contrast. |
