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 …

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);

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

Hmmm I think we need Mr. Domer to check in on that.
There are other “series” of pennants of unknown maker, that share the same design and structure. Examples: Oversized 1910s “B.B.C.” pennants (Red Sox just sold in REA) Very oversized 1900-1910s with sewn leather graphic I should also add that the 1951 NYG Cinderella Boys pennant comes from a maker that appears to be unique from those previously listed. There are others with same wide scroll and similar designs - again, Dodgers and Yankees, suggesting a NYC area company. Still think it would be cool to have a reference with pennants sorted by maker.

It's tough to keep up with Trench, however, because they made sooooo many pennants from 1940-70. They made a lot of different pennant series, too and each series generally included a pennant for all 16+ teams. Documenting them all would be quite an undertaking, so I just tried to include a few examples from each. Oh, and the maker of the double-wide scroll pennants you reference? And, the BBC series maker? I have some answers to these questions ... but, you're gonna have to wait. New content in 2022 will answer these questions.

Kyle mentioned he had another company profile coming for his blog. The name was something like ABCO. He said I had a few examples, including this one. Maybe the thin tassels are a characteristic? Note: even with the thin tasels, the one behind is not similar. It's the bat wielding Giant, Gothic font, player in the middle, ball at tip.

Oh sure. I think with respect to Gimbels and a few others listed above, they may be “one team only” pennants. What does it look like if we limit to pennants made for most/all teams? I guess even Collegiate would drop off with only four known baseball pennants …

A couple of those made only a couple of pennants ever, IMO.

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.
