Hey, pennant guys

[perezfan]

Incredible stuff, everybody... this thread somehow just keeps getting better!

Here's my only related pic... Cleveland Indians personnel unpacking a treasure trove of pennants and souvenirs to be sold at the 1954 World Series. Sure wish we could go back in time, and raid the place!

And the second pic is of one of the pennants seen in the image. If you look hard, you'll find it!

I also loved this pic, posted by Bob W from 1950. The Brooklyn Bum Pennant is obscured, but is definitely in the Vendor's right hand. Note the little Swinging Batter towards the tail, and the bottom-half font of "Brooklyn". A perfect match, even though the magnificent Bum isn't visible.

This is the rarest version of the Bum to be found on a pennant (IMHO), and it's great to know that it's from 1950! Great stuff... let's keep it coming!

Agreed Mark! At least maybe this stupid virus is good for something bringing all these awesome pics out of the woodwork. How bout a pennant and banner combo from series time in cincy!

1960













Not sure if these were real or movie props

REAL.... that last picture is fantastic!

Here are both of the Pennants from that great photo. Too bad the photo is B&W because the actual colors are gorgeous!

Fantastic, Chris!

That pennant is so rare in red (normally it's blue), and it looks great with the blue tassels. Very cool patriotic look. And the Banner is the best I've ever seen. I have never been able to find one that's not ripped to shreds, badly stained, terribly faded, or full of holes.

Yours must be the best extant, and to have the matching pics.... WOW!

There are so many things I love about this last day's posts...

That batch of Indians Pennants is by far the rarest variation from 1948. Just insane to see that many together!

Great photo evidence of pennants being sold, some of which have a blunt tip. We knew that maybe 10% were made that way, and great to see the photos bear it out.

Amazing to see which pennants coincided with others time-wise. Some that you might think were older were actually sold into the early '60s. Really cool to see these overlaps.

Thanks to all for posting these wonderful photos!

Nevermind…

Don't want to hog the thread with stuff that maybe 3 people might care about.

Rooters in New York.

Without question, today was the greatest day in Hey Pennant Guys history, only to be surpassed when Mark S. posts pics of his ENTIRE collection! (Speaking of which, Mark, time for another sale???)

There are more than 3 who would care...

Here are a few more I found online. The Giants pennant pic is from 1951.
