Hey, pennant guys

[Bumpus Jones]

Definitely vintage Rob. Among other things it has the tell tale swiss cheese around the border area and in the red part as well

[Fballguy]

I would say so...Lowe & Campbell ceased to exist in 1961 when they were completely absorbed into Wilson Sporting Goods (though acquired by Wilson in 1931).

Just wanted to scoop Domer once.

Kyle probably has this on his bookshelf.

Beautiful Chris!

Is that a new acquisition, or one you already had?

Either way, it's fantastic.

Haha, you all think you're so smart ... but I'm much more familiar with the '39 edition

Rob, nice work. I hereby transfer my "super sleuth" crown your way. Use it wisely, now.

I know the obvious answer is on the wall. But when there's more pennants than wall space, other options are required.

I have a number of pennants in toploaders laying flat under a chair. It's not the most elegant solution. I'm curious how you're storing your pennants.

It’s about as “elegant” as my method (which is basically the same).

Just had a pennant epiphany (albeit a minor one...)

These two blue pennants are from the same mystery maker. Anybody (Kyle) want to speculate as to who made them?

I use these clear acrylic bookshelves (from Amazon). Not the best pics, but the only ones I have handy. I can get 10-12 pennants on the shelf and then rotate which pennant is in front. I think I have four of them right now and will probably get a few more. It works as a display/storage combo for me.

That's a really great idea Marc. Looking good!

Marc, I do the same for my pennants. But I also take an extra shelf and cut it into 6" lengths, then use one on the top to stop the pennants from falling out. I only use one screw for the top one so I can flip it out of the way to get to the pennants.

That's pretty neat Rob. I'm trying to work out how it works. Have you fixed grommets through the holders or attached hooks to them so they hang on the cables?

I know that Rob, Rick and Marc have shown innovative "storage" solutions that also enable the pennants to be readily displayed. Great stuff!

But (as a fellow collector who has also covered every inch of wall space) my solution is pictured below. These plastic bins are probably made for wrapping paper, but really work well for storing pennants. Available at any Target, Meijer, Container Store or Wal-Mart, each one will hold over 36 pennants.

The rigid covers (toploaders) are a bit smaller than the soft sleeves, and fit better as a result. You can face the pennants both ways, as shown below. Plus, these bins will fit underneath a bed, or are stackable if that's your preference. They provide great protection from dust, sunlight, carpet beetles and moths... not to mention kids and pets!

Hope this is helpful and best of luck!
