Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

That's the same batter. I think the spines were unthreaded but I'm really not sure. It's possible hey never had a spine. When I hold the Tigers pennant up to the light, I can see some tiny holes but not enough of them to have been a 1/2 inch stitch (or whatever the pattern would be for the spine).

Do you know when your flocked Giants pennant was made?

I�m GUESSING 40�s?

Probably spot-on. There's a 1940s Brooklyn Dodgers pennant that matches Gary's Giants to a tee. And yes, the matching Dodgers has a white spine with tassels. That's the first Giants example of that type I've ever seen.

Thanks Mark. Is this the one? (I found it in Mike Egner's book)

I wonder if there are more teams in this series? There's some other 1930s and 1940s 3/4 pennants that look to be candidates.

Yup, that�s the one! Here�s my extra special red felt version, with yellow spine and green tassels. Not Dodger-approved colors, but that�s what makes these vintage pennants great. :eek:

Thanks, Mark and Gary. Funny how those guys are either swinging at a ball in the dirt or hitting a dribbler, while my flocked Giant has just hit one out of the park! :p

I recognize that pennant.

I thought it was special too and then it sat on eBay for many months until you rescued it.

To be fair, the ball on your flocked pennant is pretty large. It's be hard not to make good contact with it. :)

A buddy asked if I had any interest in a couple of pennants. I did not. As a favor to my buddy, I'm posting them here to see if any of you have interest. I kinda doubt it, but here they are.

He'd like to get $75 apiece or $150 for both. If that's high, and I suspect it might be, what would you guys value them at? Also, what vintage is the Red Reds?

Probably late 1940s on the 3/4 Reds with Starburst. Cool pennant, but it typically sells for around $60-$65. The '63 Reds Picture Pennant is likely worth a bit less, given the staining throughout.

He would do pretty well to get $100 for the pair.
