I’m always buying Browns pennants ....

When I complete this project, I’ll create albums by type/style/company. At least with whatever I have.

REALLY love all the colors in that collection, Greg! You'd think almost all would be just Brown. But there are so many colorful rarities there. Especially the Blue version of the Pixies on the Infield, the Purple version of the Pointy Nosed Guy, and the jet black 1944 Champs Pennant. Condition looks amazing as well!

Mark’s favorites are my favorites, as well!

I’m a little ashamed to admit I don’t think I “know” even one name on the 1944 pennant.

I find it odd that they made team pennants in so many different colors, including those that had nothing to do with the team. Variability in general seems to be a recent development, whether we consider baseball cards or ice cream flavors. But for some reason the Brooklyn Emmet Kelly pennant comes in 37 different colors .... not to mention the number of ‘54 Indians pennants!

Those are all great Browns pennants, Greg. I like the funkiness of the mascot.

Makes me think about the book "Even the Browns," about the Browns making the World Series during the war.

Here is the blue version of the Giants pennant Rob posted earlier. I also have the white. The blue is cloth, but the white feels like it is on some kind of thin foam material. Very strange.

Really cool, Marc and Rob...

Looks like perhaps the same maker that did the Giants' "Cable Car" Pennant... which I believe is only available with the orange cloth material. Those have a great early '60s charm to them. Really love both the orange and blue versions.

Don’t think this and the cable car are the same maker. I think this pennant might be some maker’s only offering.

Interesting.... The Cable Car pennant has odd graphics. They were not "screened/painted on" in the same manner as all other pennants of the era. It looked like maybe those 3/4 examples posted above utilized the same unorthodox application.

Pretty tough to tell from a flat computer screen, but if you have both in-hand, you'd definitely know best... not that you wouldn't anyway!

Is this the one you're talking about?
