1914-1917 Minor League Pennants

[KNH]

Hi everyone. I'm hoping you guys can help answer some questions I have about some pennants. They are minor league pennants of teams that I'm told were from the Central Association. I'm pretty sure they were from the 1914-1917 area but I'm not sure exactly what year they were made. They were kept between cardboard and are in great shape. Any idea as to the value of these? How about the Reading one that is in bad shape? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's the link to the Central Association http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...e=CENA&class=C at baseball-reference.com

It looks like 1916 was the only year with Ottumwa

I know there are some other pennant collectors aboard that may not have seen this post, so am bumping for my good friend & new Board member Kary! Please help if you can--I know he'll appreciate it very much!

These are terrific pennants. Although they represent towns with teams, the generic nature of the graphics and the absence of team names and graphics really limit the value. What is the overall length? Oversized pennants from the teens (34" plus not including tassels) have more value that traditional sizes.

That being said, these would probably sell in the $40-$50 range each (for those without damage). Sold as a group representing the entire league in a large auction, they should do better as collectors of that league may want the set.

Thanks for posting these.

Ottumwa Iowa is where Radar O'Reilly was from.
