1936 Yankees and Giants Pennants
Just wondering if anyone here got these. I made a play for the Yankees pennant, but did not get it. I have a couple of other 1936 dated Yankees pennants, but this is the most beautiful version I have seen and I don't believe I have seen this style before. I knew it would go for big money as this is an EXTREMELY rare and beautifully conditioned pennant. I also believe that these are original to that era and not modern. Others opinions may differ, but that is why I posted this. Other than the fact that there is not enough pennant talk on this forum.
What I want to get some opinions on is:
1. I have seen some of these before and there is belief that these styles of pennants were a premium done around 1936. I have seen others like this style, most obviously the 1919 Chicago Black Sox Champions pennant from the Halper collection. That is the only 1919 Sox version like this I have seen, but I have seen the 1920 Brooklyn Dodgers version on more than one occasion and in varying condition. I seem to recall other earlier to mid 1920's versions of this style of pennant (maybe Pirates?), but I do not recall seeing anything from then up to the mid 1930's. Does anyone have any others to show?
2. Does anyone have any additional info on the history or maker of these pennants? It is my belief that these were some kind of premium send in like the others white 1936 larger version of the mini 1936 Yankees Champions pennant. I do have this version in my collection and can post a photo if there is a need. There is just not enough of these seen to get a handle on where they come from.
Let the pennant talk begin, hopefully....Jason
