Picked up an insanely rare 1969-70 season Pittsburgh Penguins pennant.
I've never seen another one for sale in my almost 9 years of collecting hockey pennants. The second photo is an image from the Penguins first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff game in April of 1970 against the Oakland Seals. You'll see on the novelty items for sale page that this is the exact Penguins pennant they sold at the game during the 69-70 season for $1. This is how I was able to determine when this was sold. It's actually quite odd that this pennant is so hard to find. Maybe they just never made many of them for sale, or people just didn't buy them. Last edited by islesnut; 11-14-2017 at 10:42 AM. |

Great Penguins pennant and your post is very timely. I was just about to pose the question: Does anyone have photos or other provenance of any of their pennants that helps pinpoint their origins? Very cool that you're able to connect the dots on this one.
I'd love to see what others have been able to find.

That's a great Penguins Pennant. Do you know for sure that it was sold at the stadium? Perhaps it was sold only via the Catalog, and that explains the rarity.
I'm guessing 98% of all pennants were to sold to fans in person/at the stadium, as opposed to them mailing in. I worked for a major (top 10) Food Company, who did Mail-in discount coupons as well as IRCs (instantly redeemable in-store coupons). Redemption rates on the IRCs were in the 90% range, as opposed to roughly 2-3% redemption for the mail-in type. Most people just don't make the effort to complete paperwork and mail-in, and seem to prefer the ease of an impulse-driven purchase. Just a theory... However, if you know for a fact that this pennant was sold at souvenir stands within the stadium, then nevermind ![]() |

I don't know the year of the ice cream bar wrapper but I know the Giants pennant pictured ("crowd at feet"). The 1964 Giants merchandise mailer shows some pennants (the Giants one is somewhat rare). The picture of the vendor is from the 1961 All Star Game.

Awesome information Rob. Particularly interesting to me is I recently picked up an old Steelers pennant that supposedly still had the original stick...and the stick looks exactly like the one in the all star game photo with the round ball on the end. I don't place much value on the stick, just think it's kind of cool.
Let's see some more. I know football card wrappers from the late 50's/early 60's advertised a Ram pennant mail in offer. I've always wondered what pennant that was.

Rob-
It’s a tough one.... I couldn’t find it in Google Images, but it’s a Charging Ram on a rock (I believe). And I think it says “Go Get ‘em Rams”, or something like that. I know you have it, and it’s one of the rarer ones. Hope this rings a bell ![]() |
