I LOVE pennants like that (with non-matching tassels). Awesome contrast, and seems like this 3/4 style of pennant had its heyday in the late '40s - early '50s.

Nice pickup Marc!

Very nice. This seems to be that mystery NYC area company with the very unique spine material. So hard to find one with no fading.

Thanks, guys. The Giants pennant is in really nice shape. I'm glad to have it.

I also picked up the 49ers pennant on the bottom, from Fballguy. I thought it was the same color (but better condition) as my other one, but I think that maybe it is a different color, which is nice.

Much more vibrant than my example, even after dyeing, and I see what you mean about the red tassels.

Marc,
I like these pennants a lot. I think they’re under appreciated because with the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants they were common from the 1930’s up to the 50’s as they were undated. Despite being undated, I still like them. I like the graphics and the colors. I personally collect Yankees so there’s lots of different nuances over the years. Nice pick up.

You should give this one a prominent position around the Christmas tree each December. Would also look great in one of the many Mexican restaurants in our area.

Sorry...Just kidding. My wife is Mexican and I'm sensitive to red white and green ever since she hung up red, white and green Christmas lights outside and our neighbors told us it looked like a Mexican restaurant opened in the neighborhood. Now we just do red and green.

Did anyone see the St. Louis Federal League pennant on eBay a few weeks ago? Had opening bid of $3K and BIN for $6K. Went unsold. Offered him a lot less but still a good chunk and he relisted and accepted. And that was the last I heard from him. eBay did resolve this with their guarantee so that’s good, but unfortunately there is some guy out there who literally stole money … unless eBay somehow got it back from him.

Anyone see this?
