Very cool! In my searches for pins, I’ve noticed the Orioles also had hundreds of those in that time span.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

A few recent acquisitions. Thanks to Mike E for making the white Giants pennant available to me.

I see a bleach candidate......

Nice ones, Marc. That’s another identifiable series, and a pretty cool one, too ... the one with the orbiting baseballs and cap.

I haven't had great luck bleaching the stiffer white pennants. THe bleach doesn't seem to take as well.

Who do you guys think made the 49ers pennant?

[thetahat]

My guess is Ad Flag, based on artwork and crooked cut. One of their nice ones, though. And yeah I wouldn’t mess with the white Giants, besides it looks nice already!

I’d at least do the tassels and maybe a little soap and water on the pennant......if it was mine.

How come the Astros/49er’s/Santa Clara/Oilers guy keeps getting the good Giants pennants? Sheesh.

Ha!

Let me reorder for you: 1) Santa Clara (haven't seen a new pennant since Kyle dug one up from his epic 1915 CA find), 2) SF Giants, 3) 49ers, 4) San Jose minor league, 27) Houston stuff.

Agree with AdFlag. It's both ugly and cool at the same time, with "cool" definitely winning out. Nice pickup Marc!

Greg, FWIW I have never seen an MLB pennant dated like that either (from any team). I'm equally impressed that you found an available spot on the "Wall of Fame"

I keep finding more room to hang in this tiny 30’ by 15’ room. Right now the count is: 217 pennants hanging (10 which are oversized), and 80 minis. Not counting these Eagles pennants above the stairs and the four six-footers that serve as a pool table cover.

I'm a little late to chime in on this one ... but, yeah, ADFLAG is my guess, too.

Their artists seemed to really value depicting the facial characteristics of football players, as this one does.
