Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

Really psyched to have picked this up. Seems to be much harder to find than the Dodgers companion pennant - both were made without tassels.

I thought so too...when I picked this up last week.

Those are tough Sox variations as well

Good observation about the absence of tassels on these two pennants. Both were made by Trench--a company that always included a pair of tassels on their 3/4 and full size pennants through 1970 or so.

Except in 1959 when making the NL and Al Champions pennants for the Dodgers and Sox, respectively. Never could explain it.

Do you suppose they ran out of tassels at the factory that week..?

But no shortage of yellow spines. They had plenty of those whether the yellow went with the color combination or not. That Dodgers pennant would look sharp with a white spine.

The Trench pennants with the stadium graphics are so cool. Every team had them except for the Phillies and Senators. Would love to know why they were excluded.

This is one of my favorites - I believe it's from the 50s.

The letters are sewn on - which IMO gives it a "well made" appearance.

That 1959 Chisox pennant is one of the coolest looking Pennants ever... tassels not withstanding. The colors, the winged sock, the stadium and the diminutive players... that one truly has it all. An artistic Trench masterpiece!

Couldn’t agree more, Mark. Beautiful and great finds, gentlemen!

That's such a tough pennant to find. Sewn letter baseball pennants are unusually rare. It may even pre-date the 1950s, who knows?

I've seen that one before with a Spalding label sewn on the reverse. Which makes it even cooler.

Thanx!
