That is a fantastic precision frame job! Great solution to a challenging pennant.

I racked my brain trying to devise a good solution, but just went the lazy route. The larger size rigid sleeves are just big enough to accommodate Uncle Sam’s Hat and Bat (without crushing anything). The door is metal, so I attached magnets to the 3 reverse corners of the top loader sleeve, in order to hang it.

It worked pretty well but not as aesthetically stunning as yours. Great job!

I've been trying to get pennants out on display and of my closet, but have limited wall space. I decided to buy some 36 inch acrylic book shelves so that I could both store and display pennants at the same time.

I think I got about 18 on the shelf and can easily rotate them to have something different at the front.

It maybe isn't a 100% perfect solution, but I'm happy with it.

I like it, Marc! Can’t go wrong with Giants!

Great solution, given the lack of wall space, Marc...

Really nice to have the ability to rotate them, to keep those displays fresh.

Looks terrific!

Marc, very cool! Someone had the idea of using pants hangers to hang/display, I may do that with the ones for which I don’t have wall space.

These are currently on a wall in a closet waiting for me to figure out where I can squeeze them in to be displayed.

If you haven’t seen the Cuban pennant in the April pickups thread, check it out.

Here's a few more from the 1950s....

1. Walter Alston hired as new manager, November 24, 1953.
2. Ebbets Field sold to real estate developer, 1956 (note the same wind-tattered "BROOKLYN" flag flying outside the facade).
3. Walter O'Malley campaigning for Proposition "B" and new stadium proposal at Chavez Ravine, June 1958 (with pennant topping diagram).
4. Close-up of pennant depicting Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as seen in the above photo. Another holy grail of sorts....

Were any other teams represented with the “Play Ball” other than the Cubs? This White Sox pennant has the same batter, but no wording.

Many thanks for posting that incredible pic of O'Malley...

Great to know it's a first-year LA Dodgers Pennant. Actually, a pre-first year LA pennant!

Great stuff.... below is my example.
