OLD Pennant: Treasure or Junk?
 

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I collect old White Sox pennants and bought this on ebay a few years ago. <br><br>It is navy blue felt and the letters are stitched into the felt <br><br>(can't tell you what type of stitching - some sort of crochet-like deal). <br><br>I am 95% sure it is legitimately from sometime between 1905 and 1910, <br><br>but I just don't know what it is.<br><br><br><br>It came from a lot that included a bunch of old cards and postcards <br><br>in the 1905-1910 range. Supposedly everything came from a trunk<br><br>found in an attic. As an example of the other stuff included in the <br><br>lot (the only thing I remembered to save info on) were several <br><br>1907 Geo. W. Hull postcards. The cards and postcards in the lot all sold <br><br>for good prices, so I assume the savvy collectors determined that<br><br>the lot was legit.<br><br><br><br>The trunk-attic came from the Chicago area and the cards were about an equal<br><br>mix of Cubs and White Sox, so I have no idea whether this would be a Cubs or Sox<br><br>pennant (both used a blue and white color scheme at the time). Or maybe it's not <br><br>even baseball related????<br><br><br><br>Anyone know what I have here? Is it something special, or just something <br><br>someone's grandma made for them? If you need any more info or close pictures <br><br>of the stitching, let me know.<br><br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1231346653.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br>Thanks!<br><br><br>edited scan size and please be careful of where you are posting...this should be on the memorabilia side...thanks (leon)<br><br><br>
