Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

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.

Maybe I have a lousy iron or something but I’ve done it with mid and even high heat directly to surface, although always just the back and yes the older ones, not 1970s stiffies. Never any issues. Cloth pennants with creases that are 50+ years old seem to require it. Can’t touch the paint of course.

Agree. Me, too. The �low heat with towel� was just to protect myself from any personal liability. :p

My bad...there is an ashtray that matches that pennant...it was hiding in plain sight on the wall.

I bought a Giants pennant (I guess)....

Always been a sucker for pennants with stadiums on them.

Happy to add this. I was at the right place at the right time. I have 28 of these "LH batter and bridge" pennants in different colors and font variations but only four of them are like this one with the horizontal (as opposed to vertical) bat. I believe the horizontal bats pre-date the verticals. Probably late 1950s to early 1960s.

Nice pickup Rob! That's a toughie, and yours is a beauty. Condition looks great and I love the colorful spine and tassels. Awesome example!

Thanks, Mark!

Q: other teams got the LH batter, correct? Maybe in stadiums, etc. rather than with the bridge? Did these other teams also get the horizontal bat variety?

The Astros is the only other team I have seen, Rob.
