Nah, he’s just holding it for a friend, lol.

I’m more concerned with the bottle he’s about to throw.

The kid puffing on a cigarette priceless. I see a Browns and Cardinals pennant maybe the World Series?

Those two look like they're filming a scene for a movie. Everyone else is smiling for the camera.

The pennants look like they're made out of paper.

That Baltimore pennant looks like the person sewing the letters on may have been a bit tipsy... at least with the A. Seems like early 1900s is right, although I'm guessing it is impossible to know if it is related to baseball in any way. I guess the right price depends on how much you love Baltimore the city.

The St. Louis pic is awesome and funny. I enjoyed reading the book "Even the Browns" about that baseball season and the World Series.

Here is a recent pickup for me. I already had a few copies of this pennant and they are all beat up. The graphics on the scroll seem especially fragile and prone to crumbling for some reason. The graphics are relatively solid on this one and you can even still see a bit of paint in the oranges and the Bronco. But it came bedazzled with feathers for some reason. I have no idea why. They were sewn on with some kind of cray stitching system that was maddening to remove. I think I cut about 50 stitches. But I'm pleased with the result.

Great pennant, Marc! Santa Clara no longer plays football, right?

Regarding the picture….I also see a couple of valuable 6” Cardinals pinbacks in there. The kid inhaling the secondhand smoke looks like his pennant may be sewn to his shirt….something we saw in another picture. Maybe, maybe not.

Also regarding the picture, this is the 1944 world series. I see two copies of the world series program (back cover) in this picture. And Rob, I think the boy breathing the second hand smoke has his pennant pinned to his shirt with a smaller 2-1/2" cardinal pinback.

New to the thread, was really cool to see this picture. Acquired this pennant and was curious to its origin dates. 1944 looks pretty spot on considering this photo.

Do you guys think these could be by the same maker? Both are slightly under "full size." There's writing in the lower left of the Sox pennant but JR can't make it out. He said it has some name and a patent number. A patent number? Weird.

P.S. The Giants does also come in blue.

P.P.S. If anyone here gets the Sox pennant, we need to decipher the writing in the lower left.

That Giants batter always messes me up with the hands in the wrong position for a righty. Or maybe he is looking back at the umpire to protest a call.

This one is rather rare. This is only the second example I’ve ever encountered. I purchased it and will donate the duplicate to the Clemente Museum.

I’m not sure who keeps outbidding me on pennants days before the auction ends, but cut it out! Haha! 😆

Nice, Mike! Is the new one an upgrade to the one you had?

A bit of a lull here in the Pennant thread, so just wanted to inject a "short but sweet" video on a rare AAGPBL pennant. There's no crying.... Hope you enjoy!
