Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

Always loved that Yankees pennant and ironically don’t have it in my collection. You of all know that most of these you find have the extremely faded fabric. Nice pennant

Gehrig ...

I’ve yet to see a Giants pennant from this series in cloth. Felt, yes. Black print on orange. Here’s one currently on eBay. The felt versions that seem to be early 70s have the ASCO trademark, you can see it below the G. (Thanks for info KB.) The ‘69 cloth ASCO pennants are all multi colored, I would expect the same design but with a white baseball.

*Correction ... I don’t think the Twins have a multi-colored version, mine is white on red. The rest are.

I, obviously, believe you but it looks nothing like Gehrig, to me.

Whoa very nice! Reminded me of a Phillies pitcher (Alfonseca?) who had six fingers and toes on each hand/foot...

That Reds pennant is from the cool early 50s series, really thick felt, correct?

Yes...Thick felt. I usually avoid pennants with tip damage. I thought this was in mint condition when I bought it. It was listed at a price I felt it wouldn't last long at so I didn't have time to question the tip, which in retrospect is suspect was strategically cut off in the photo. When I received it I emailed the guy and he quickly offered a partial refund. So I kept it.

Thanks. I personally prefer the cloth pennants provided they aren’t faded. And you’re right - they usually are. They have a nice feel to them. These pennants actually have a cloth spine, too!
