It's pretty rare....

Speaking of rare pennants with both teams' logos depicted, here are a couple from 1914 and 1915, respectively.

The Overland Car Company sponsored an "Employees Day" those two years. They actually brought Major League Baseball Teams to Swayne Field in Toledo, to play an Exhibition Game in recognition of their factory workers. Prior to the game, the Players accompanied the Auto Employees in a "celebratory march" from the Overland Factory to Swayne Field.

Imagine a company today bringing in top stars the likes of Cobb, Crawford, Matty, Bresnahan, Bender, Collins, Baker, Tinker, Evers, Chance, etc. to accompany the employees. Those were different time, to say the least...

These pennants were given to the fans, to wave during the parade and at the game. I was extremely lucky to find one of each, and have never seen another example surface. If anybody has one, I'd love to see it here!

I only collect hockey, so don't know much about baseball pennants, but what year are the 3D pennants from? Those are gorgeous.
