Hey, pennant guys

Really couldn’t find much.

Great Kazooz Pennant! Really nice Antique Show Find, and possibly a lone survivor.

Thought you might find it interesting that the same leaping Fielder image was used for an early Teens White Sox Pennant. Here's one from my collection that has the same Fielder, but in color and with a Baseball coming towards his glove. This pennant is oversized as well. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting. That pennant is amazing. Is there a tag on the back? Guessing it could have been made by the same company. Also, did you get it professionally framed? Thinking that’s my only choice as it won’t fit in the standard pennant sleeves.

It came framed, from an auction house. I have not taken it apart to see if there is a tag on the reverse, but would guess there most likely is.

I have framed all of my oversized pennants for that very reason... no manufactured sleeves/covers will fit!

Someone (Mark?) said those standard frames made to hold (3) 8x10’s work for pennants, when you throw away the mat. That may be standard 12x30 pennants, though.

The fielder is Frank Chance, based on an image by Francis P. Burke.

Here is Frank Chance. The image is from either 1901, 1902, or 1904.

Paul:
That is awesome information... very cool that the portrayal is Frank Chance. Many thanks for that info!

Rob:
That's right.... the Aaron Bros. Frames that hold three 8 X 10s horizontally, work great for most standard size pennants. And while the 36" length sometimes works for oversized pennants, the 13" width always falls a bit short of accommodating the height.

I won nothing, but there were some big prices realized on pennants in last night's Lelands Auction. Really strong competition for most pennants (of which there were many...)

But this one really caught my eye.... Over $12,000 for this All Star Pennant...

I bet the consignor treats himself to a nice dinner tonight!

Wow. I was surfing through prices realized for items I was interested in, but didn’t see that. I have not seen that pennant before, but that price is crazy. Obviously someone is happy (other than Josh) to have won it and sold it. Leland’s always has good variety of stuff from all sports and gets good action.

Those prices were all through the roof! $500+ for the Dodgers bum pennant ... that has been repaired??? Over a grand for the not-uncommon ‘51 ASG pennant? Wow
