Hey, pennant guys

They will probably borrow other items from my collection when they next rotate their displays. I've loaned out Koufax items before to some museums as well as to Dodger Stadium, but this is my first time loaning out anything Jackie. I'm hoping to get to see the museum when I go to NY for a wedding in July.

You’re definitely the guy to go to for museum quality Dodgers stuff!

Will do. I plan on asking for a photo of the display just in case I don't make it there.

Rob, a lot of guys have me beat by a mile, and Gary Cypres' Dodger collection is so large that he has his own museum with thousands of square feet dedicated to the Dodgers. But I do have some unique items, and I get a kick out of seeing them on display somewhere other than my own home.

Here are two recent pickups.

This is now my third different version of this Santa Clara pennant (they differ in font, material, color). I have seen each version only once in 20+ years, so I'm glad to get it. This one is cloth.

Does anyone know if the W mark is the same company as the one that used the WC mark on other west coast pennants? (West Coast Novelty... I think). Or maybe that really is not a W? (between the Bronco and spine)

The second is an Adflag NY Giants pennant that doesn't usually come with as much color, so I decided to add it to the collection even with the nip at the top of the spine.

Marc, I don't believe your "W" is a mark at all. I believe the artist is trying to illustrate the movement of your bronco, is all.

The "WC" mark we once discussed was a concessionaire's mark for West Coast Novelty, and although the mark differed in appearances from pennant to pennant, in all cases the "W" and "C" were very clear.

Love the SC pennant, Marc! I kinda agree with Kyle on the “W”….and kinda don’t

[bocca001]

The W must be shock waves from his abs flexing.

The "W" is just lines of motion, like the two white lines directly above, and the three white lines beneath his back left leg. Cool pennant!
