St. Louis Browns early pennant

It's not really Joe Tinker, but a generic image that was used on many pennants of the era. One such example, currently in Heritage....

Still a great piece, and a real gem you have there. Not many oversized Browns Pennants of that era have surfaced, and yours appears to be in pretty nice shape, despite the stain on the spine. Can't quite see the tip, as it is obscured by the black background. But needless to say, It's a keeper!

I think this is the first place it turned up. It also appeared on a postcard about the same time.

Here is another Browns pennant that I am not familiar with.

Both pennants are great! Welcome to Net54!

Thank you!

That second Browns Pennant that you posted is fantastic as well. It is part of a rare series, circa 1951. There have been a few threads here, regarding this terrific series of pennants.

Mine are stashed away for the most part, but I know Greg M has most of this set, and can possibly post some pics of the other teams (from his great collection). My pics would come out sideways, anyway.

I think Greg and I are both missing the Cardinals version, but possibly have all the rest. For the record, I believe your Browns version to be the second rarest within the entire set... second only to the Cardinals. Cool graphics, and a truly rare piece!
