Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

I'm extremely happy to have picked up this three quarter size "batter and bridge' pennant. The full size versions are extremely common. There are probably 10-20 for sale on ebay at any given time. This is the first 3/4 I've ever seen. I have a similar 3/4, but it is not an exact replica of the full size. It's interesting that I've never seen one of these - the silk screen would have had to have been completely different i.e. they didn't just print full size graphics on a smaller pennant. It also appears this one never had color, other than the shoes. I've looked at it closely and I don't think it's a case of the color just fading out. BTW - do we know who made these left handed batter pennants?

I just noticed, too, that the "F" used on the 3/4's is a "hybrid" of the F's used on the full sized versions. The minutiae never ends!

Very Cool looking pennants and great detail in them.

Those San Fran Pennants would look great on display.

Just curious how do most pennants get displayed that are shown in this thread?

Rigid holders and thumbtacks. Lots of them!

I have a few Toploaders on the wall, but I'm also using an idea that Mark showed in post 4884. The acrylic shelf is great. It takes about 20 pennants in toploaders and I move the front one to the back about once a week. That way I rotate through them all.

Love the displays and you are right Mark's idea is pretty simply and cool looking

I really like that dark blue Oilers pennant, Greg. That detail about the #60 should help me identify one, as the general style/lighter version is not so hard to find and the exact color is tough to see on pics/scans without a side by side.

Nice pickup. I have a reverse find.

I picked up this 1940s Tigers Pennant. It's a little faded in a few spots but I've not come across it before. Mike Egner's book only shows a 3/4 version of this pennant. Anyone else have or come across a full size version?

Thanks, Kyle. I was going to consult the PDF I made of your blog.

P.S. I’m jonesing for another entry!

Hoping to post better quality photos. Looks to be a 3/4 size (25 inches). Worth picking up? Thanks for any info!

Somewhat rare and worth picking up for sure. Not sure what they're asking, but I would not exceed $75 for that one.

Got this Keezer Mets pennant very cheap, still good color for a blue cloth pennant.

Posted this awhile back … here’s another AFL-stamped pennant with a venue depicted.

How are you posting your photos, Chris? They look like screenshots from your phone. At a minimum, I would suggest you save the pics to your photos. I add my pictures from my desktop computer.

Yep, they are phone screenshots. I have had no luck resizing them of late. Only have a phone at present. Laptop needs to be replaced.

Rather than screenshots, can you save them to your photos and then use those?
