Hey, pennant guys

[Fballguy]

Just in case anyone was wondering...I didn't really get this at Lelands. I'll stick to knock knock jokes with this crowd.

On a cold streak right now...but the upshot is my savings account is off life support.

Don't quit your day job.

I'm posting this here because I just realized it ties in with Kyle's incredible pennant research...

I picked up this duplicate because it is a tough and unique pin and I couldn't pass it up for 10 bucks. I just now noticed the Sportservice "Double S" mark. Of my 800+ Giants pins, I think this is the only one with that mark...

Nice pick-up, Rob. Love it when these pins come with the ribbon and trinket combo.

So, the Sportservice concessionaire's mark tells us this was likely purchased inside the ballpark--maybe even with a pennant.

Any maker's mark on the backside?

No makers mark; just what we pin guys call the Union “bug.”

Two recent pickups. The top pennant is pretty common, but I had been looking for one in Astros colors (it's blue and orange... my picture makes it look black). It has the double s Sportservice baseball logo.

I have been looking at Astrons pennants for a few years (sometimes more seriosuly than others), but had never seen the bottom one before. Most Astros pennants from the 60s through the 80s focus on the Astrodome. I like the tequila sunrise pattern on this one. It's a bit rough, but seems to be uncommon.
