I got the fancy F in green …

Attended the Philly show last weekend, a few minor acquisitions. I had this in felt but couldn’t pass on the cloth version because the condition was so nice and the color so deep.

The colors are amazing!

Thanks to Erik for making these available to me (first two). I think he used a time machine to get them because they are both pristine given their age.

The first is a blue cloth Houston Colts pennant. The second is an early Giants Candlestick pennant, with white spine and tassels. It's an uncommon pennant, and almost always dirty/damaged when it comes up. I already had one with a black spine, but could not pass up the super clean one Erik made available.

Nice ones Marc … really love that Colts pennant, colors are great.

The nice thing about pennants that are so far gone...

You can experiment and get creative. Decided to bring this one back to its roots. Navy and gold.

Wow!!!!! How many times did you have to soak it? Was this the “dye on the backside” method?

Really nice job. Were the letters on the pennant cracked at all. In my one experiment with dying, I noticed that the dye came through cracks in the letters and graphics. I've probably just done it wrong but maybe it should only be done with graphics that are in better shape than on my attempt.

I didn’t even notice the “fancy F” variation until just this last year.
