All the above notwithstanding, I have to say that if you came to Cleveland in the 1930s/40s/50s and bought a Cleveland Pennant with an indian chief on it, you would have to be living under a rock not to know that there is a team in town by the same name. I wonder if its possible that "Cleveland,OHIO" pennants were essentially unauthorized pennants that a souvenir vendor would be happy for you to mistake for being from the team, but were likely unaffiliated. I keep looking for vintage photos of a fan holding one of these or other similar pennants at a game to tie them closer to the tribe, but I have yet to see such evidence. Again, I think yours is the real deal, related to the team, but I have no good evidence (yet!)

Any idea on what this pennant might be worth JL?
Thanks!
