Ferguson Bakery Premium (Jumbo) Pennants

[perezfan]

Just inquiring to see if anyone has a complete list of the Premium (Jumbo sized) Pennants issued by Ferguson Bakery. I know they are quite rare and desirable.

Here are the 7 of which I am aware (and have seen examples...)

Alexander
McGraw
Huggins
Collins
Tinker
Schulte
Barry

You'd certainly think that they also produced Cobb, Wagner, LaJoie, Matty, Evers, Chance and other big stars of the day. Are they so rare that you just never see them? Or do these simply not exist? I can't imagine what a Jumbo Cobb or Wagner would actually sell for.

Below is a pic of the Alexander Pennant, just for reference...

Any help/additional insight is much appreciated. Thanks!

There is also a Cobb and Bill Donovan.

Over the past 15-20 years, I have heard of one Cobb, two or perhaps three of McGraw, two Tinker, one Schulte, two Huggins...but these are basically one of a kind items. Since you had to send in 50 Ferguson coupons for a large pennant or pillow top, I'm sure very few have survived. Of course, there are probably some buried out there. The checklist has grown in recent years, so there certainly could be other undiscovered ones.

I have pictures of the Huggins, Collins, Tinker, Schulte and Alexander. Can anybody post pictures of any others. I need them for the new pennant guide that I am working on. Thanks, Mike

I don't have a list but I think I am going to steal that top image for my site since the one I am using isn't as good.

I have seen one other of these Pillowtops with baseball players and it had Heinie instead of Honus, the rest of the players are the same. One of my fave pieces I picked up last year. And of course I got my information from guys on this board to start with, for the most part.

Beautiful piece, Leon!

Here are Barry and McGraw...

The only one of the nine known pennants of which I have never seen a picture is the Cobb. One sold in the 1999 Halper auction with a McGraw. The total selling price was around 3500 dollars. Probably one of the few bargains in that auction. Unfortunately the Halper catalog did not have a picture of the Cobb. Below are the seven that I have accumulated over the last ten years.
