Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

Offseason pennant purcahses. Some less commonly seen (by me) Giants pennants, and a few interesting Astros pennants (it's kind of hard to find interesting Astros pennants). The orange Astros pennant is 15 inches. The 1966 pennant is 18 inches.

Nice pickups, Marc. Your blue pennant came in several colors. I have white and green and there is an orange one on ebay, right now (at a ridiculous price). I'm also attaching a picture of a very similar pennant.

The cream colored pennant is very distinctive with no others of that style. The enclosed Candlestick Park would put it in the 1970s.

The black and orange pennant is early SF...it looks to be a direct descendant of a NY pennant.

Rob- I like the Green. I'll have to find one to go with the blue.

Someone posted in a different thread about the cream pennant being rare, and it is listed as "extremely rare" in Mike Egner's book (and as being from 1961). Is it really all that rare?

I’d call it “rare, but not that desirable.”

It’s not 1961...they didn’t “enclose” the outfield of Candlestick until 10 years later.

Added to my collection of the neat early 50s series; actually I had this Tigers pennant but it was much dirtier. Tigers sure did it right when it came to pennants. I've discussed this before, think this dates to 1951-53 because of the Cubs 75th anniversary version. Brooklyn dates it '52 or '53. Have two different versions of Senators; one of two Red Sox (Mark S. has both, I believe), also some come in different colors (Cubs, Pirates). Need Cardinals (super duper rare) and Browns (even rarer) to complete set. ... Also have seen these pennants in a smaller size with a longer strip.

That’s s beauty, Greg!

LOVE that particular series of Pennants. Congrats on finding such a clean example. That yellow/orange felt was really conducive to soiling.

Beautiful NY Titans pennant Erik!
