Please help me identify age of this Tigers pennant

[wolterse]

I picked up this gorgeous Tigers pennant at the Boston show this weekend. Noone could really pin its age. Some told me it was relatively rare as well.

Can anyone help me get more info on this?

A pin of similar design (stadium between Tiger paws) is from early 1960s.

It's generally considered a late 1950s pennant. They must have kept the design through the early 60s. Nice pickup... I've always liked this variation.

Thanks for the info.

By the way, isn't there a book out there that was recently published dealing with pennants? I'd be interested in a copy. Thanks, Erich

Yes- Mike Egner is the author, and can get you a copy. Here's a link to Mike's site, where you can purchase one. It's a great resource!
