Hey, pennant guys

Here goes. Here's a picture taken at game #1 of the 1916 World Series, Brooklyn (NL) at Boston (AL)--although the game was played at Braves Field rather than Fenway to accommodate a bigger crowd. The woman on the far right is the wife of one of the principal owners, Ed McKeever. Before her and her entourage are no less than five Brooklyn pennants. As far as I know, only one has survived the past 100+ years: the blue "BROOKLYN" + batter pennant shown below (in the photo, it's hiding in the second row, between the ladies in front).

The pair of "BROOKLYN" + crossed bats pennants I've never seen anywhere before; and the same goes for the pair of identical 1916 National League Champion "Dodgers" pennants hanging from the railing. I have, however, seen their Red Sox mate. The 1916 sox version is shown below. It appears to be a higher quality version of the Brooklyn one in that it is two-piece and multicolored. (I suspect the Brooklyn version was hastily thrown together at the season's end, when time was limited.)

If anyone owns or has seen either of these this century, I imagine it'd be someone following this thread.

Holy mackerel ... what would that white 1916 Dodgers pennant fetch in auction? I’d guess $20K

Here's a couple...

Still looking for this issue of "Seater" magazine. The two ladies are circa. 1958. The one is wearing a Seals hat.

Thanks, Mark. Finding companion pieces for anything is one of my favorite aspects of the hobby and I have no doubt that this pennant thread is far and away the best on the memorabilia side of things. AMAZING stuff fellas...

A Classic.

A few more pics...

I lost out on the big one from some sort of big wig gathering.

I also lost out on the Holiday Casino. Those folks were headed to Opening Day 1958. Still one of my most wanted pennants.

The "The GIANTS our CHAMPS" is dated to April 9, 1963. One lady had a '62 NL Champs pennant.

Rob- what pennant is that in the "Giants Our Champs" pic? I can't quite make it out.

Is it the Orange one of these?

And why the Colts?

Opening Day 1963 vs. Houston. Then, I guess they were hoping for a WS rematch.
