Ha! I didn't know how rare the Oilers pennant was when I bought it, although the hammer price should have been a clue. I bought it after being the underbidder on about 10 straight NFL pennants (mostly 49ers) and decided that I just wanted to win something.

This series is beyond rare. That's the only Oilers I've ever seen, and one of very few made for ANY teams. I do have the Steelers (equally scarce) from that series... Rob, if you are interested in that one, just shoot me a text on our ongoing thread. It will take some digging, but I know I have it in nice condition.

You are correct, sir! This was made by Collegiate of Ames in the 1950s, around the time they were making 3-D pennants. In fact, the artwork appears to be from the same artist responsible for the Dodgers and Red Sox 3-Ds.

Collegiate Mfg. Co. was always a very military-friendly company. I can't imagine they made any money on this particular design; but, given the customer, I'm sure it was their privilege to make this one.

They made at least two variants of this design for the Navy: one for San Diego and another for Bainbridge Island, WA.

Great info...

Same artist for sure... and you're right. They probably sold very few of these. I can't imagine young Military Trainees spending their sparse expendable income on this (cool as it is). That must be one of very few survivors.

Unless there is something I do not see, this pennant was an excellent buy.
