CHI-FEDS Federal League Pennant
 

7 1/2 x 9, partially hand tinted vintage photograph showing Chi-Feds pennants.....

the one on the wall (hanging alongside a BOWDOIN pennant at its right and a photograph of a baseball player at its left) is fantastic - would love to see an actual full color sample of either CHI-FEDS pennant - versus the B&W or hand tinted versions as shown in the photograph - the one on the wall in particular.

07' National Chi Feds
 

Very nice photo..unusual...What's the who what where?
I saw this Chi-Feds piece at the 07' National in the booth of John Ross

...Next John had an unusual item that may have been a page from a large clothing trade catalog. It promoted the Chicago Whales, also called the Chi-Feds. It appeared to have been printed on heavy cardstock, 22" tall x 16" wide, $1,750.00. Next up...

Great photos! I love the Fed Lge stuff. They had terrific names too. Though, I'd always thought the Chicago mascot was just a pun, until;

Here is on that sold on Legendary/Mastro.

For some reason this paticular pennant has legs and has been resold a couple times by Legendary and more recently a couple times by Mears.

I think I've shown this before but here's a single day pin for the Mason's Baseball outing.

Unusual for a Bowdoin College pennent to be hanging with those. I would like to find one of those.

Wow...
 

GREAT Chi-Feds stuff - thanks to all for posting.....I have only a few Federal League items in my collection, so it's always great to see what's out there.

and thank you, Joe, for posting the image of the Tinker pennant - it's a winner!

I know that one!
 

This very penant hung in my father's basement for MANY years until he sold his entire collection to Mastro approx. 4 years ago (?). Nice to see it again after seeing it so many times before. He had Federal League scorecards and more stuff than I can even remember. By the way, don't bother, it's all gone now and he's retired with a nice chunck of change.

Here is it's new home, at least for awhile.

Wow
 

...and what an awesome display of B18's as well!

Congrats! Looks great up there with the blankets. If I'm not mistaken, he had it thumbtacked to the wall downstairs (good to see it framed and protected)!

Here is another one. Mike

I had this Chicago Federals pennant but sold it some time ago.
