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.
