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.

Not to put pressure on you Kyle...but I need my fix. Where's the new content?

It's coming, it's coming.

Been a little busy ... but, it's gonna happen.

I just posted a new piece on Pennant Fever covering a short-lived 20th century pennant maker we've never really discussed; and I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on it. This month, we'll take a look at Salem Screen Printers, a New England company more known for their shirts and sportswear; however, during the late 1980s/early 1990s, they made a few pennants I'm sure we've all seen that, in my opinion, warrant some recognition among us pennant collectors today.

Also, I've posted new content on my other site: Pennant Factory. There you'll find some interesting material on "caricature pennants"; and the much discussed "grommet pennant" we've all been mystified by.

See: https://pennantfactory.weebly.com/

Whatever you decide to read, I hope you enjoy it.

Next company on deck: The Reproduction Co. of Brooklyn, NY.

Great articles Kyle. I particularly liked the grommet pennants. I'm probably slow on the uptake but it never occurred to me that the grommets were a way to lower cost and reduce sewing. Thanks.

As it's been a bit slow on this thread lately, here's an update on the pennants in post #6529. I gave them a bit of a clean and they tidied up well.

Thought I’d give a little push to the thread … my buying has really slowed down but this was something on my wish list, as I already had the “sister” Browns pennant. These are clearly WGNs.

That’s an amazing pickup, Greg. Love everything about that pennant!

Really did not need to see that one again, Greg. I gave it a good shot with a Best Offer, but you obviously bested me. Congrats... it actually looks incredible next to the matching Browns Pennant. It definitely found the right home!

Awesome pickups, Erik. Never seen that particular Tigers variation, and the Chiefs is such a toughie... especially in nice condition like yours. Great scores!

Ah … well thanks (and sorry!). I was actually surprised he took my offer, as Cardinals pennants seem to be going through the roof.

Great pickups, Greg and Erik! I'm glad someone is finding stuff.
