Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

That Packers pennant is from a supper rare series of mini pennants, for both football and baseball (I admit that I could be wrong about having the same maker). I have only a pic of the 49ers and was lucky enough to get the SF Giants a few years ago.

I also have a Houston Oliers pennant from the series that is full size. I have never seen another. I remember thinking that these might be Keezer pennants given that the Houston Astros pennant is a Keezer pennant.

Great posts Marc...

I have a full-sized Pittsburgh Steelers from the same set, and it's the only example I've ever seen. Very similar to your Oilers.

Such an oddball (albeit attractive) set!

Marc those are awesome. Love the Oilers especially.

Anyone have any extra Baseball All Star Pennants with player names featuring Brooks Robinson between 1960-1974 (I have 1966, 1966, 1971 and 1972). If so, let me know at Charles.strite@yahoo.com

Pleased with this addition, got a good deal (cheap) on this oversized Yankee pennant 35.5 inches (pictured with a typical full-size), just about mint. Another just sold for a little more in auction in much worse condition. Gotta make a holder for it. It’s from that mystery NYC company we have yet to figure out …

Nice Greg...

Never even knew that oversized Yankees pennant existed!

Never knew there was an oversized version of that Yankees pennant.

Thanks … I had it once before, faded and beat up. I wish we could figure out the company. One thing is clear: all their pennants are cloth and have weird spines … although I’m still not convinced they didn’t make the forked ‘55 WS pennant. Here are a few obvious ones from same maker (I only own the Mets and Dodgers);

So to summarize the known companies for vintage pro teams (missing any, Kyle?):

Trench
Keezer
Ad Flag
WGN
ASCO
Collegiate
(the maker of the above pennants)
(sliding runner BB/straight arm FB)
(grommet pennants, Midwest company?)
…?

The “holder” I made for my one over sized pennant is a cardboard back, wrapped in a huge piece of Saran Wrap I got at Papa Murphy’s Take n Bake pizza.

I tried something like that at first, cardboard back but with three pieced-together soft sleeves. Looked really cheesy. The poster toploaders work great, I’m all done mine now.
