Hey, pennant guys

[butchie_t]

I know you all work with original pennants but my recent purchase, while it is a pennant, is a reproduction. Thing is, it will be the closest I will probably ever come to the original.

A 1924 WASHINGTON SENATORS World Champions mini-pennant.

I'm good with it, please be gentle.

Nothing wrong, in my view Butch, with a well made reproduction. Most of your non-pennant friends won’t even notice!

But, technically speaking, your flag isn’t a pennant … it’s a burgee

I bought the ‘55 Brooklyn Dodgers version from the same seller and I’m quite happy with it.

[butchie_t]

Burgee??? That sounds somewhat strange.

'Hey how does this look on me? I just got this new burgee and it is a little tight around the waste. Does it make my butt look too big?'

Thanks for the correction. I did not know that. I am a rank amateur when it comes to the differences.

Cheers,

B. T.

I love mine! Cool is cool, whether it's a hundred years old or brand new. If you're an actual collector of something, why would it matter? I couldn't believe how nice this recent acquisition was for the price when I had it in hand.

It's been a little quiet on the Pennants thread lately so here's a new arrival today

I love these player photo pennants. I'm hoping to get some of the other Cubs Power Pennants to add to this.

I'm in two minds about whether to try and clean the small circle of dirt on the right side of the pennant.

[ooo-ribay]

Not a fan of the Cubs but I do like that pennant.

And thank you for reviving this thread!

Gary- I might try a bleach pen on that spot, depending on how valuable/near and dear the pennant is. Just to get it to the same shade of aged white as the rest of the pennant. I don't think I've ever tried a bleach pen or spot remover on a pennant, so maybe it would not work. Given all of the red on the pennant, seems like a soak is too risky. But, honestly, for a white pennant it doesn't look all that bad. I'd probably just leave it alone.

I was just killing a few minutes and noticed this modern/repo pennant (with the 1962 info listed) in the ebay sold items for $180.

[ooo-ribay]

Yeah, I saw the Giants pennant. Someone got took.

[perezfan]

In the "good old days" we could message the buyer and let him know he bought a reproduction for 6X its actual worth. Too bad ebay supports shill bidding and erroneous/deceptive listings like this with their new policies.

Another new arrival...Brooklyn Dodgers Batter and Ball "Moon" (Catalog Ref: BKDG105-TBC)

I also had a go at cleaning the Cub Power Pennant. You can see the before and after.

Anyone have any tips for getting cloth pennants in a toploader? I've found that the felt pennants work by tapping the toploader but the cloth pennants don't work as well. Because the material doesn't have the same weight, I have a dickens of a time getting the tip to move all the way down.

Cubs Power looks great!

As far as toploaders (which I don't use often), I've used a dowel and/or a 3' ruler to "guide" the tip.

One of the things that I've noticed about the various repros and fantasy pennants is that the tassels seem to be out of place (e.g. more towards the center of the pennant). It's not always the case but often it is.

[butchie_t]

Many know my quest for the Bullets Championship pennant and the cleaning that I did on the one I finally found. Yeah, I cleaned it a bit too much and the edge bumper faded from a nice blue to a faded blue.

Fast forward to today..... Another pennant, slightly different but still a championship pennant came up on the bay for a crazy cheap price, $10.00

It has a very nice blue bumper and is very dirty like my first one is. So, I now have a bumper for my first one, thanks to my wife, she will make the sewing changes for me. And I have two Bullets pennants.

I will clean this one too, but only after the bumper is removed. Both bumpers will be swapped and the faded one will get a Rit Dye session before it goes back on this pennant below.

SCORE!!!! x2!
