Hey, pennant guys

OHA’s Ottawa 67’s were born the same year as me. Plain-Jane style, but I haven’t seen it before and looks to be a good candidate for a clean up. 22 inches.

Hey Chris, if this is cloth ... likely yes. Retro Clean usually does the trick although you will want to test it with a q-tip to see if ink runs. 1960s cloth pennants can usually be turned pure white with maybe a bit of a touch up with a much-watered down bleach solution if the spine runs. Always good to soak with a dowel running through it. If it’s cottony felt and older, it might be tougher. Cool pennant!

Interesting addition, with three top tassels. It joins my phantom version (in red). Interesting the pennants are exactly the same except that the word “Champions” is slightly different. So it’s not just the missing “World”. ... I’ve seen two versions like this in 1958 Braves and my 1950 Phillies just says “Champions”.

Damn, Eagle Eye! The pandemic hasn’t affected your vision!

These pennants are awesome, Greg. And the ‘champions’ difference is so subtle, it’s amazing anybody would notice it. Any theories out there on the minor difference?

Thanks Erik. No idea. I would have figured, maybe they made a screen with just champions, and then revised it later. But they used two different screens, even though the word is positioned for an easy revision.
