Couldn't pass this up, even with the missing bottom tassels. The graphics colors were just too good and the seller was willing to negotiate. For some reason, it seems like about 90% of the copies of this pennant are red. I now have red, purple, and black. Would like to find blue next.

One of the absolute classics of the mid-century. Great pickup, Marc!

Just wanted to say: I neither collect pennants nor plan on doing so, but I love reading this thread. So much cool stuff.

Agreed...but the missing tassel must have given you a little shudder, Mark. :p

I’ll add that only missing bottom tassels looks way better than only missing top tassels.

Yes indeed.... but so typical of Trench pennants. Best artwork of the Golden Era bar none... but their seamstress was (for some reason) adverse to sewing the spine all the way down to the bottom. :confused:

That pennant is 10 seconds away from perfection.

No missing tassels > missing bottom tassels

Is this a well known fact? :p

I think there's a support group for those who fret over tassels.

I will find some matching vintage Trench tassels and maybe have my wife lightly sew them in.
