Hey, pennant guys

Gorgeous pennant pair, Rob! Love the artwork on both. And the condition is just crazy for pennants that are over 100 years old. Way to make lemonade out of lemons during this horrific drought!

Well the good news is that the drought has increased demand for what we all have. Been noticing an uptick in prices realized for not terribly uncommon 1950s team pennants. Even if we aren’t sellers, at some point we will want to move them along ... I’m not too far from starting the process with what I have in storage tubs. I think it seems this way because our collections have grown quite a bit. Even the live auctions aren’t very interesting.

Another solution: let’s trade! We should have Pennant Collector Winter Meetings!

Here’s a recent find of mine with what seems to be a tough variation (tassels and font).

Not sure I’ve seen tassels on a stiff arm pennant before. Also, the little patch of turf is missing below the feet. And as you mention, different font. Copy cat by a different company?

Interestingly, one with tassels just went in a group in a Lelands auction, though it otherwise matches the standard design. But yeah I guess so. It’s well made, double stitched on the back, soft thick felt, definitely old.
