Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

I agree with everyone here, Doug. Nice thorough Dodgers collection.

Based on some of your other posts, I was hoping to hear that you picked these up traveling around the country for music related events.

This one’s a bit late but I’m watching a documentary on the history of the STL Browns and snapped this pic

Regarding pennant colors ... here’s one that looks spray painted instead of screened.

I would guess airbrushed. Nice pennant!

Sadly, I'm not sure that I have ever picked one up on the road, and I have been to hundreds of baseball card stores (back when they still existed) and hundreds of second hand stores / antique malls (one of my bosses, the one who likes Disneyland, loves stopping at them on our drives).

But, never having found one doesn't stop me from always looking.

Both Greg and Doug have a pennant with a view of multi-colored stands from the pitcher’s mound and “1956” in a ball. I’ve never seen anything similar. Is this a Brooklyn only design?

The only one similar (and by the same maker) is a Cleveland Indians Champs pennant. I'll try to find images.... please stay tuned.

Here they are. No other teams used this image, that I am aware of...

These ‘54-56 pennants share a more general style, you can tell by the font and also the texture of the screen print. It tends to be thick with very fine grooves in it. Look close and you’ll see what I mean. This Phillies pennant is clearly from the same maker, as in the “Cinderella Boys” Giants pennant.

Next up are the NY Giants. This may disappoint, in both quantity and quality it falls short of my assortment of Brooklyn pennants. I really don’t have much as far as SFG, except for the common GG bridge versions.

There is a neat little twist on one of my ‘54 pennants though ...
