Hey, pennant guys

[perezfan]

That one is from 1964. I know because my Dad came home from Candlestick Park, and gave that very one to my sister. I always liked it because of the Cable Car. Your Pennant is probably in nicer condition (after 50 years) than hers on Day 1. A beauty, especially for that price!

He brought me home the White One with the Batter, and my brother got the Black one with the Horizontal Bat and Ball (both of which are pictured on your wall).

One of my clearest memories as a 5 year old kid!

What does 1915 signify?

No telling - could be a high school or college graduating year. I've seen cabinet photos with 'year' pennants like this in front of a group of people - teams, etc. The reason I bought it was because I was collecting autographs of the 1915 Boston Red Sox and thought it would be an interesting piece to eventually put on the wall with framed photos and autographs scattered around it.

But like most of my projects, it likely won't happen.

The font on the Athletics pennants is out of this world! I'm assuming Philly? What era, would you guess?

The team down south from SF had an identical pennant the following year....some had color added; some did not.

According to the pennant guide the Athletics is from about 1910. definitely Philly It is 3/4 sized with everything sewn on.

Sorry, I borrowed your image... didn't have the time or patience to dig out mine!

I noticed this thread needs more Pirates, this should help.

ahhh....this one. Definitely 1964 and a "one off' in that no other SF pennant looks even close. Just so ya know.....I have a picture of every one of my pennants because we moved in 2010 and I took pictures as I packed them up.
