Hey, pennant guys

[aelefson]

Hi-

Here is something unusual. It is a Philadelphia Phillies pennant from Mike Ryan Motor Sales. It is signed by multiple members of the mid 60s Red Sox including Tony C (but no Yaz unless I missed seeing his signature).

Mike Ryan Motor Sales was in Haverhill MA so I am not sure why they made a Phillies pennant but I am guessing it was made when Ryan was traded to the Phillies (the dealership was run by his uncle but he worked there). Has anyone seen an unsigned version of this pennant? Did the motor sales company make any other pennants?

Super cool! I can’t make out the mark in the last picture…

Thank you! It says American Knit Wear and Emblem Mfrs Emblematic Sports Wear. Did they make any other major league pennants?

American Knitwear is Keezer manufacturing. You can look them up on Domer's pennant fever blog.

I know I have seen a copy of this pennant sell at least one other time. I don't believe it was autographed, but I'm not certain.

Thank you! I thought the logo looked familiar. I have a vague memory of seeing another one too but I might have confused it with this one (this came from a Massachusetts Americana dealer's estate and he had it for sale at a few ephemera shows several years ago).

I knew the graphics were Keezer but wasn’t sure the mark was. Pretty bizarre that they did a special run for a car dealer. I wonder if they did other special runs?

In the process of cleaning things out and looking to sell my 300 or so Baseball Pennants from the 50's to current. Condition is mint/great to poor on others

What's the market these days?

You may not like the answer....but it depends on which pennants. Are you able to share some photos?

The market is “great to poor.”

Depends what you’ve got.
