3. Walter O'Malley campaigning for Proposition "B" and new stadium proposal at Chavez Ravine, June 1958 (with pennant topping diagram).
4. Close-up of pennant depicting Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as seen in the above photo. Another holy grail of sorts....

Many thanks for posting that incredible pic of O'Malley...

Great to know it's a first-year LA Dodgers Pennant. Actually, a pre-first year LA pennant!

Great stuff.... below is my example.

Of course you own it

Honestly, I've never seen one for sale. On yours, it almost looks like the graphic was multi-colored originally--what do you think?

Yeah, I see what you mean...

I suppose it's possible, but think it was made this way. There is no fading whatsoever to the felt, as it remains a very deep blue. Hard to believe the graphic portions could fade that much, if they were once colored.

It's an interesting pennant... really different from anything else the Dodgers put out.
