The one I have with the different ball/stitches orientation has the registered symbol next to the MLB logo, rather than the “s” in Giants.

An Epstein contribution to football pennants...

If any one has a time machine I can borrow for two weeks or so, I'm pretty sure I can get at least a 30,000% ROI on these. Will gladly compensate you with a 5% cut.

PS...How was shipping so much more efficient (two weeks?), not to mention free, in 1964?

Not sure I had seen this pennant without the Frank Chance reference before.

I wasn’t a math major, but your ciphering seems a bit off. :p

But I hear what you’re saying.

edit: the Google machine tells me “30,000 percent of .70” equals $210 so, yeah, you probably could. :p

That's the one from yesterday's Memory Lane auction, right? The one from ML had 3 sets of tassels. The description had it at 37" x 13". Is that wider than the Frank Chance version?

It seemed a strong price considering that the fading.

On a separate note, I managed to win this Athletics pennant in the auction.

Nice pickup! Size? Era? Very unusual font.

Nice pickup Gary... very nifty embroidered Athletics pennant. Super stylish!

To answer your question, the "Frank Chance's Cubs" version came in 2 sizes... Oversized (like the Memory Lane example) and a version that's sized about mid-way between 3/4 and full size. I have the latter, pictured below.

My thought is that the "Frank Chance" version was sold around 1910-12. When Chance subsequently left the Cubs to manage the Yankees in 1913, Repco probably removed his name from the pennant. So I would guess that the Memory Lane example was manufactured around 1913-14.

That makes sense Mark. Probably not as many without his name are out there.

Thanks. It from the 1910s and is 20 inches long.

Thanks Mark for the info about the 2 RepCo Cubs pennants.
