Pennant collectors

[thetahat]

I am sure many of you noticed a recent group of three old ones on Ebay: 1927 Pirates, 1920 Indians, 1920 Dodgers. Curious to know your thoughts. I am convinced they are old; the style of pennant has certainly been seen before, notably in St. Louis pennants (Browns and Cardinals dated 1939) but they are not particularly common. These Champions pennants could have been made as part of a series. I seem to recall a dated '19 White Sox pennant that was similar? That one supposedly sold for over 10K somewhere, forget where I read that. The other peculiar thing was the color of the graphic; kinda hard to see as it is made of the exact same paint as that on the wide end.

Anyway, if anyone studied these and has any thoughts or even pictures of simiar ones in your collection, I'd be curious. As a collector myself I like to learn and discuss them whether I own them or not. Thanks and Happy New Year!

3 different winners (Indians $1833, Dodger $1596, Pirates $1007)

Is it odd that all 3 are of the same make and style but 2 have 1920 & the other has 1927, so when were they made?


and.........1 to go (Browns) that has No bids....odd.

If these aren't phony, I'll eat one. Alright, I'll be charitable and call them folk art, made about two weeks ago in commemoration of eBay.

Speaking of Pennants I just purchased this 1915 Boston Red Sox Pennant yesterday---cost a good penny but I really like it and a scarce one---thought I just show it to the pennant collections thanks, Don

Don:

That's a beauty! I have seen a few similar in style but never one exactly like yours. I am sure that many Sox fans here are drooling over that one...
Can you post the dimensions (of the pennant itself- not the frame?)

Congrats on a beautiful (and very unique) acquisition!

Thanks for the nice comment size is 34 1/2 long (not counting the tassles) by 11 inches high down to the tip---Don

FANTASTIC piece Don...that would be the pride of any collection. I love the simplicity and the rich thick felt.

Don- Simply put, stunning. I love the way it is framed and matted. That piece would be the hallmark of any pennant collection. Heck, even a Yankeee fan would have to appreciate that one.
