Hey, pennant guys

[thecatspajamas]

I'm not a pennant guy per se, but just picked up this photo in the RMY auction last night that I thought you guys might enjoy. It shows 1954 Cleveland Indians team officials taking inventory and getting World Series Souvenirs ready to sell at the ballpark, including. Hundreds of pennants including several with the stadium and others with the Chief Wahoo image as well as some New York Giants pennants poking out of a box too, not to mention yearbooks, stadium pins, visors and T-shirts. Fun stuff!

Love seeing the merchandise! I wonder what those pennants went for back then? A buck?

Great pennants! I thought I'd post this flag I picked up at Mark Macrae's St. Leanders show. It takes a huge space on my garage at 7.5' x 4.5'.

Made by Hortie Van of Pasadena. It's double sided - I guess so that it read "left to right" no matter what way the wind took it.

Rob, I may have asked you about this one already and I know it's a long-shot, but if anyone has ideas as to where it flew, please let me know. Thanks!

i wish I had some info for you, but I don't. The seller had no story?

your question lead to one of my own.....my Giants Wrigley flag is a white "San Francisco" on a purple background. The current Wrigley flags are an orange "Giants" on a black background. I'm 99.9% sure mine is legit, but when did they make this change?

What a great photo... can't believe I missed that one. Thanks for posting, Lance...

Keith:
I think your plexiglass idea is perfect. That's about the best you can do, and I think it would be a very attractive/protective solution (without damaging the Banner).

Rob pulled it off nicely with his Giants Pennant, already. If you do go this route, please post "before and after" pics and let us know the cost. I have some over-sized stuff that might be good "candidates" for this as well.

Here are a couple of my favorites. The small pennant is from Luke Appling Day with the pin attached to it.

Nice graphics on that Albany Pennant, Greg... really captures that era perfectly.

Here are a few favorites from the teens... just to keep this thread going.
