Saw this pennant listed in an estate sale post today. I was probably the 25th person in the door and I knew this pennant hung somewhere in the house by the photo. I found it and paid handsomely for it, but I love it. The pennant guide says it’s 1930’s and extremely rare. It’s got a few minor dings but the tip and tassels are intact. Anyone know anything about the manufacturer?

The metal grommets are interesting, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. Pretty cool.

Ah, another "grommet pennant." We've discussed these before. They were made by some mystery maker--possibly with St. Louis origins--from the late 1910s to late 1930s.

Awesome pickup! So tough to find any from this series, and condition always seems to be an issue. Yours looks good… great find!

That Browns pennants is fantastic. Well done for that pickup. It's the first grommet pennant by that mystery maker that I've seen without the "Champions + <Date>" along the spine.

Very cool Browns pennant. I think I’ve seen one other in 25+ years of collecting. I suspect all of the “champions” pennants from this “grommet” maker date to the mid/late 30s. Here’s one that is likely not as old as yours but does not recognize a championship. .

My hypothesis is that all the dated Champions pennants were made for either the opening of the HOF or the ‘39 anniversary. Kind of wild guess but it makes sense.

Pretty good shape, all things considered. Great find!

By far the Tigers have the most “dated” pennants, I think there may be Tigers pennants with years from the early 1930s to around 1953.

I know we have Tigers collector here, wondering if he collects the different years.

Greg,

I know I'm not the only Tiger collector in the group but as for myself I try to collect all the different years and variations of the Tiger pennants. My 1934 cane pennant I have is the earliest year I own. I have several dated pennants from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Steven that’s very cool. I think I can speak for others when I say … pics please!
