Ah yes, very nice ... and it kinda blows my 1953 hypothesis out of the water!

I don’t think so. They just resurrected the design.

This should be the Indians version from that specific series. There were so many variations and different fonts used over time, as this mascot was their “go-to” for many years.
Now I hope he’s enjoying his retirement. ![]() Ps. If interested, he will be in LOTG’s summer auction, along with lots of other cool pennants! |

Picked these two up in the last few weeks. Priced too cheaply to pass up. They have to be at least 100 years old. Both 34" excluding tassels. Anyone have any idea who the maker would be on these? Chicago Pennant Co. was around at that time.
I've found a similar pennant (but not exact) using the same font and a circle shaped graphic, as on the Harvard pennant. The tag on that one reads: Henry Schwartz of 15 Ann St New York. Domer...Does that name meaning anything to you?

Chicago Pennant Company pennants or ChiPenCo have: 1. Tassels cut vertically and NOT on a bias 2. Tassels have the same color as the pennant backing 3. Lettering in the same color as the binding strip on the end 4. Hand sewn felt for the logo and the lettering. |

That style of font was used throughout the 1910s by several pennant makers that had adopted the screen printing method for felt pennants; and, you couldn't replicate this font via any other method (i.e., sewn letters). The fact that they were screen printed tells us they were made after 1907; probably closer to 1910, when this method became more widely used. The most obvious candidate for either maker was The Reproduction Co. of New York City. They are believed to be the first manufacturer to patent and manufacture pennants via the screen printed method. With that said, they tended to use the same stock graphic illustrations; and these don't appear to be ones they used. Two other possibilities: Annin; and Langrock Bros., both of New York City. Both followed Reproduction Co.'s lead in adopting screen printing by the early 1910s. Although Chicago Pennant Co. opened its doors by 1910, I don't believe they made these. Their earliest pennants all had labels that clearly identified them by name and address; and, I don't believe they ever screen printed a pennant in the 1910s (or ever?). Their early stuff was all sewn letter; and by the 1940s, they used primarily flocked graphics.

Yes! The Indians pennant features super thick forest green felt, and it never had tassels. Would be great if we could uncover the entire original set of these.

Just saw a home movie clip of a ‘54 Indians parade, presumably before the WS. Rare shot of the “teepee” pennant ...

That's a great pennant and shot from the video. Thanks for sharing.

Can't think of a better reason to explain the insane scarcity. Might be the only pennant of which I'd buy a repro version (just to have one). Last edited by perezfan; 06-01-2020 at 07:20 PM. |
