Vintage Pennant Sale! (2nd Installment)

[perezfan]

Offering up some more nice vintage pennants. Some very rare ones in this group. As always, first to email or PM gets it. Please add $11 for secure flat shipping (regardless of how many you buy).

I may have some wiggle room for negotiation, but for the most part, these are priced below market, and some would take years to surface, regardless of price. Nevertheless, feel free to make a reasonable offer if it's close to the asking price.

Here they are...

1. Mid '60s Houston Astros:
Impossible to find, and presumably made in very small quantities, this is a holy grail among Astros Collectors. Likely made by Keezer, and perhaps the Astros first-ever pennant, since transitioning from the Colt .45s. Condition is EX+ with minor/expected wear. Rare offering, priced right! SOLD

2. Mid '60s California Angels:
Companion pennant to the Astros, and likely made by Keezer. Just as rare as the Astros, and manufactured in very small quantities. Also likely that this is the California Angels first pennant, following their move from Los Angeles to Anaheim. These two pennants (Astros/Angels) turn up maybe once or twice per decade, and immediately sell when made available. Condition is EX/MT with minor wear. $285

3. 1950s Milwaukee Braves 3/4 Rare Variation:
A beautiful and unique depiction of the Screaming Brave Mascot, this one is also seldom-seen. Perfect screened graphics and vibrant colors highlight this rare gem. Condition remains EX/MT with expected pinholes. SOLD

4. 1948 Boston Braves National League Champs:
Beautiful artwork and an a historic year for the Boston Braves. This gem commemorates the Braves final pennant-winning season in Boston. They would go on to lose to Cleveland in the World Series, and would not reappear in the Series until 1957 (as the Milwaukee Braves). Very tough to find in nice condition, but this stellar example grades EX/MT+. SOLD

5. 1950s Pittsburgh Pirates:
Gorgeous Pennant manufactured by Trench features stellar artwork of the Pirate Mascot rising above Forbes Field. One of the very best "Stadium Pennants" of this creative era. This is the larger Forbes Field variation, which remains in EX/MT condition. Tough to find this red felt version! $65

6. Early 1960s Baseball Hall of Fame 3/4 Size:
While perhaps not as rare as its counterparts here, this is the nicest version of this pennant I've ever encountered. The detailed graphics and bright colors are second-to-none, and really "pop" against the jet-black felt. NRMT condition, and would potentially make a tremendous upgrade, if so desired. $49

7. 1930s - 40s St. Louis Browns:
Another rare one, this is among the more attractive St. Louis Browns Pennants available. Ironically, it sports a very regal appearance for a not so successful franchise. Wonderful muted graphics, with the iconic Browns "Shield" logo depicted. Condition is near-perfect and simply beautiful on the front side, while the reverse side has remnants of a putty or adhesive (in 3 small spots along the back of the spine). Thus, it was likely mounted vertically, as there are no pinholes or other evidence of mounting towards the tip portion. The mounting residue is confined to the reverse, and does not show whatsoever, when the pennant is displayed. $239

Pictures to follow within this thread, and there is one more pennant that I'll list in its own separate post. Thanks for looking!
