Hey, pennant guys

[Fballguy]

A few photo pennants and a scroll in that Pirates crowd shot. That Fernando Valenzuela pennant isn't a stunner....but I don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale. Not that I'd buy it..

This was the scene outside Reina's Delicatessen, 95th St. and 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY on the day Brooklyn won its first and only championship in October of 1955.

Among all the jubilant children, one girl is seen on the floor, crying. Someone called her out by inscribing the notation, "GIANT FAN --> " on the photo beside her (I swear it wasn't me).

Anyway, two cool Dodger pennants by Trench in the window....

“Bobfreedman” was kind enough to find this picture from the Occidental Hotel, October 1924 dinner to celebrate the Senators’ WS win. Hard to see the pennants on display but these are all the same, and one is also pictured below. Now this was in a Legendary catalog when a fancier version of this pennant fetched a mint (everything same except there was a Walter J. graphic inside the baseball and the laces in the ball ran vertical.

I don't know of any other '24 Senators pennants, does anyone else?

As a side note, does anyone recall the similarity between this and a 1925 Pirates pennant?

Very cool Greg!

I don't recall your pennant, but I do remember the other one you describe as well as the Pirates version. All sweet pennants.

We'll shake things up a little with this one. Secretariat pennant, why not

Thanks for the halter top!

That photo of the 1924 banquet is in the program for the 1925 banquet, also held at the Occidental Hotel in D.C. The WaJo version in Legendary and the one pictured with the blank baseball (yours?) are the only copies of each I've ever seen. I'm guessing the ones on the wall of the restaurant are the only ones of that style that were produced, and who knows about the origins of the WaJo example? It's hard to believe that if either of them had been sold inside or outside the ballpark at the four games of the series in D.C., only one survivor of each would be known today. Who would have thrown theirs away after the Nationals' glorious victory?
