I am not really a pennant collector but do have a few felts and associated items. That is a beautiful pennant and the seller is very experienced. It will be interesting to see where it ends in price.

Without provenance that's just another pennant to me. He gives zero back story for it...where was it found? Were there any accompanying items to explain that this really is a Negro League pennant?
It was not uncommon for organizations of all types to use that type of lettering layed over one another for a logo. I doubt there is any provenance at all otherwise it would have been added to the auction info.

I agree that without provenance, it could be anything. Those are three pretty common letters -- any athletic club that starts with a B would be BAC.
Also, the pennant is not a match for any of the other logos shown. Some are similar, but not the same. Greg

Could also be B____ Agricultural College. That would make sense too with the '13 on it. Beautiful pennant but too many possibilities. Also, being a felt applique, which takes a lot of time to make, I can more easily see it being a class or athletic club pennant than a retail souvenir. Maybe I'm wrong, but most souvenir pennants are screened or stenciled, not sewn.

The 1st seller called it something completely different
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1913-ABC-Cla...#ht_212wt_1429 The buyer and now 2nd seller of it is gonna make a bundle from the story he has attached to it.

Good catch on the re-list. Here is another couple of pennants that the original seller states came from the same group of sewn "showroom" pennants.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camden-NY-an...p2047675.l2557 Not sure that it proves anything one way or the other as to what ABC stands for, but for anyone looking to sink big bucks into this one, I think it would be worth discussing where they came from with the original seller.
