Could this be a baseball pennant?

Ah, we will never know of course … A city named after a tribe would naturally use an Indian graphic. Either way it was cheap and the detail on the Indian is amazing. So many colors when screen printing was in its infancy. Had to get.
That’s a beautiful pennant, Greg! What do you “make of” the label? :confused:

Thanks, Rob. Interestingly, among the non-sports pennants that were shared by Marc a week or so ago, the ones either all the Repco labels … the one at bottom has the same label as the Sioux City …

Kyle?

A & Co. NY

Yes, calling Kyle…

A & Co. N.Y. = Annin Flag Co., New York, NY.

By 1915, they were the largest maker of collegiate pennants in the nation.

And today, they're the biggest (domestic) manufacturer of US flags.

It's unclear when they stopped making felt pennants, but I've seen catalogs from them offering felt novelties as late as the 1950s.

No professional teams that you’ve been able to find?

Only the 1915 or 1916 Boston Red Sox World Series champions pennant we've discussed before....

They made some ca. 1939 souvenir pennants for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, as well.

There’s no rhyme or reason to that. But Greg, is your Sioux City a professional pennant? “There’s a chance.” :p

I’d feel it would be a good chance if the town wasn’t named after a tribe (or more accurately a group of tribes) …. But still possible!

A few AFL pennants...
 
...dad asked me if I wanted them. He said they were stored in a smaller box, so creased. He then said he'd iron them. I told him not to do that. I wonder if the pennant he has for the New York team is Titans or Jets?

Will be interesting to see what you get. You CAN iron them but they are likely to be synthetic (not actual wool/felt), so go with a low heat and cover the pennants with a towel.
