I wonder if that accounts for some of the differences.

Regarding WGN I do believe that they made pennants in the 1940s with tassels. Here are some examples which I think fit their style, they have tassels that match the body. The Browns pennant has a sister Cardinals version, and I’ve seen dated Tigers pennants from the mid 40s that are similar. It was around 1950 when they seem to have ditched tassels.

I suspect this is also WGN based on the font of the name … Johnny is still alive, maybe we can ask him?

Super-psyched about this pennant thst came today, another WGN, I’ve seen it only once before. This one is about mint, interestingly a bit small, 10.5” wide and a tick under 27” long. This is likely around 1951-52, since Minnie was still going by his real name, at least on baseball cards. Minnie was a cool player, too …

That’s a great pennant. Think how much a companion Ernie Banks would bring.

That would be an awesome find. This was a Chicago company and they made multiple variations of Cubs and Sox, so maybe!

Congrats to all who’ve contributed here, including our deceased and beloved compadre Mike Hoevet…

Leon please confirm, but I believe this is the first and only net54 thread to receive over one million views!

And many thanks to Baseball Rob for starting this great thread!
