Hey, pennant guys

I don't think I've ever seen tassels stitched that way before.

Nor have I.

I did another little experiment a few days back...washing a pennant. Just hot water and some powdered laundry soap. I was a tad freaked at first but the stains shown in my picture came out completely. The red isn't any the worse for wear, altho the spine is a bit lighter now.

The old, cloth-like pennants seem really delicate when they are soaking wet!

I'm wondering if any of you knew Bob Rothschild? He was a pre-ebay, SCD pennant seller. My collection pretty much started with pennants bought from Bob in the 1990's.

Same here! No pics in those SCD ads. Just a written one-line description for each item. I probably bought 25 of my very first Pennants from Bob. What a different world back then!

He was a no-nonsense Guy. Is Bob still around?

Don't know if he's still around. I think, back then, you still needed to consider the time of day for "long distance rates."

Very true. And I still remember calling to reserve them, only to find they had sold days ago. SCD took forever just to reach the west coast.

The halfway point between Bobs house in Jersey and mine was an exit of the Jersey turnpike. We met quit often back then
