Would love to see your Browns pennant … in fact I'd really really really really love to see the Browns pennant in "wave two" of your pennant sale

Speaking of this set … I have seen these in a slightly smaller size, and not with tassels but with a spine that extended out, as if it was part of a string. Do you know what I mean?


Yes! The tassels were like an extension of the spine.

Matt Z. had a bunch of them, and (I think) has finally sold them all. The Tigers stuck around on eBay for the longest time, but is now gone, I believe.

Matt's been a great contributor here... perhaps he has some perspective on these smaller ones as well.

Based on the white felt spine on most of Greg's pennants from this series, the non-felt orange sheen/ribbon/satin spine on at least two of the SF Giants pennants (me and Rob), the comment that this series is very well made, and the estimated date of 1951, it seems like the SF Giants pennant is not part of the same "series." I would not use the term "high quality" to describe the two SF Giants pennants I now own.

The existence multiple Cubs pennants seems to point to a midwest/Chicago area maker. Not sure why they would run off SF Giants pennants unless they had no other SF Giants version to sell at an early 1958 Cubs game or something like that. But then you'd think that there would be an LA Dodgers version too.

Here is what the spine material looks like on the SF Giants pennant.

I have never seen a spine like that ... ever.

The material looks a lot like nylon. Like it came from a stadium giveaway backpack--not a ca. 1958 pennant. Do you suppose it may have been added by a recent owner, post-purchase? As in ... "spinal surgery"?? Perhaps the original spine was 100% wool/felt ... and the moths made a meal of it back in the 1990s?

Do both of these SF pennants feature the very same material? Or just the one?

It sounds like Rob's Giants pennant has this same material on the spine. There is no evidence of restitching. His pennant with this orange spine also looks to be about the same size as mine (with the Orange spine). The one I have with the yellow felt spine is a few inches longer (and wider). Also, my close up of the spine makes the material look new. It doesn't look very new in hand. It is pretty worn and tattered. It is also very thin, more like a ribbon.

Nah.... that spine is original. No spinal surgery there... I've seen that material used very sparingly. It's rare to find, but have seen it on more than a few occasions.

On a separate note....

It's too bad that Greg has such a sh*tty Phillies collection. C'mon Greg.... can't you hang some good ones?

Seriously, those are some rare and beautiful gems. I have never been able to get my hands on that white one with the Batter who looks like the Chucky Doll. I think I've seen two of those in 30+ years, and Greg's is one of them. To most people it's probably an ugly pennant.... but it's a thing of beauty to me!

That "Chucky" Phillies pennant is UG-LY! But I gotta hang it because it is so rare. Im guessing it is an early Ad Flag, since their artists were notoriously horrible. I look for any variation of the blue jay, there was one that came up on eBay about a year ago - deep blue with a large jay (these are more rare) similar to the gold one on the right … but I was outbid. Been trying to get one of the "daisy" oversized pennants, thought about the one that was just auctioned off but backed off since it had been part of a blanket and got torn.

I would love to tour Greg’s pennant cave. I could spend hours in there! I think it’s cool that Greg is focused exclusively on pennants, although he must have to sift through a whole bunch of garbage on ebay . Is FB Rob similarity focused?
