The Tattered Faded Worn Pennants Thread

[Bumpus Jones]

Cool pennants everyone and a great thread. Speaking of the threads, part of this one is barely hanging on by a thread, but I still love it.

First of all, Rob wins for the 1951 Giants pennant. It really looks like there is some kind of mysterious force holding that thing together. Maybe just a bunch of static.

Attached is a picture of a 5 foot long pennant taken from Santa Clara, CA to New Zealand by the All Blacks rugby team after they defeated the Santa Clara team. Something chewed on it at some point in its 100 or so year life.

LOL...Oddly the spine and tassels are in great shape.

My contribution...Sad to say, I had to let this one go.

Not as old as some of the ones shown, but I haven't seen another one yet to replace this great pennant.

A picture really is worth a thousand words. I totally know what that "felt" must feel like. That is an awesome pennant...love the boots, spurs and hard hat.

Great pennant. How did it make it's way from NZ back to you?

I found the pennant for sale online, at an antique store in NZ that specialized. They had other pennants from a west coast trip, but I only bought this one. This was back before everything in the world ended up on eBay.
