Hi Mark,
Neat pennant!
I'm not sure if I ever commented on this particular pennant before, but if you didn't know this:

Swayne Field was located in Toledo, Ohio and was the former home of the Toledo Mud Hens.

Overland Co. was a precursor to Jeep which is also based in Toledo, OH.

Spectacular Mark. Like the purple example even more.
And the Ty Cobb tiger is awesome

Super sweet pennants, fellas. Love that Tiger baseball player pennant...one of my favorites.

Thanks all!

Scott...

I did have that info on Swayne Field and the Overland Company (thanks to a great Net54 thread a few years ago). For 2 years, Overland sponsored a Major League Exhibition Game in their home town of Toledo. 1914 was Athletics/Cubs. 1915 was Giants/Tigers.

They brought in major stars of the day like Cobb, Mathewson, Bender, Collins, Tinker, Evers, Chance, etc.... strictly as a "thank you" to their employees and their families! Can you imagine that happening today?

Here is the A's/Cubs Pennant from the 1914 Game...
