Vintage Mini Pennant Questions
 

Hi-
I recently acquired the mini pennants pictured below. I have tried searching online for other examples from this series but have thus far come up empty. Has anyone ever seen these mini pennants before? I am guessing they date from the early 1910s because of the Naps nickname on the Cleveland one. The collector I purchased these from has no recollection of who made them, or even where he bought them. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. I really appreciate it!

Alan, Very neat pennants. I have been collecting mini pennants for 20 years and have never seen those before. Very unique. I wish I had some answers for you.

I've never seen those either.... very cool, and wonderful find!

They have no scale; how long are they from tip to tail? 3" or so they may have been inserts in a tobacco product. Larger and they may have been on sale at ballparks. Very neat; check with auctionhouses that focus on these type of issues. They look pretty valuable. Nice get!

Thanks guys! I meant to include the measurements. They are about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide. I think it is cool that no one has seen them before but I was hoping someone had, and knew their method of distribution. I really appreciate the comments!

Never seen them before but they are very cool pennants.

Alan nice find You come up with the best stuff---Don

Those are really neat; especially the Naps. There's not much Naps stuff even out there.

Great pennant find.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the comments.

As you have both the Naps and Yankees, I am guessing they are circa 1912-1914.
