Hey, pennant guys

My dumb new laptop won't allow me to copy/paste a link, but thought that many here would find the photo interesting.

I've never seen this exact photo before; but, beware, there's a better photo taken (I presume) by the same photographer from a different angle that the Library of Congress now owns....

The photo was taken at game #1 of the 1916 World's Series at Braves Field; and, the woman on the far right is Mrs. Ed McKeever, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers--er, Robins--er, Superbas!

And to Greg's point, this has to be the earliest Brooklyn pennant to feature the nickname, "Dodgers," thereon because most simply read "Brooklyn" from that era.

Apparently, they stocked up on pennants before boarding their train to Boston because there's no less than 5 Brooklyn pennants depicted in the photo if you look carefully enough.

Good stuff, Kyle … on a related note, I wonder if every team is represented in the “B.B.C.” series of 1910s pennants. I haven’t seen Brooklyn in this “series”. Here’s the Washington example for reference … I’ve seen Phillies, Red Sox, Giants, Cubs.

I was thrilled to pick this off of a recent eBay run of several different colleges, all in perfect condition. This one has a cool leather insignia. There is a large tag "manufactured by Burton-Dixie, Chicago, Ill." and a smaller tag "manufactured by Chicago Pennant Co., 6542 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, Illinois." Anyone have a guess on the vintage of the this beauty?

Domer has dated many of the Chipenco tags in his blog.

Here's something you don't see every day....A Keezer football pennant. I've owned this pennant for years and had no idea it was Keezer.

I always appreciate multiple pictures on ebay, but this guy even gave us an upside down shot.

Some people just like to show off...like this Master of Ebay's new photo editing software:

Thanks so much, the label dates it to the 1940s.

I'm playing a bit of catch up on this thread. I love that photo.

Question: Have any of us actually seen any these pennants (e.g. are there any known surviving copies)?
