Hey, pennant guys

[UKCardGuy]

I asked for photos of the back during the auction listing. There looks to be a lighter color on the back of the spine where a label might have been. But if it had a label, it shouldn't have the uneven cuts on the top and bottom borders.

In then end there were too many unanswered questions for me.

Thanks for posting that pic of the reverse. Still looks like a dull scissors job to me.

I have this in my pics … the third team I’ve seen now with two different versions (inverted colors)

Here's a new arrival. Except for a little bit of the tip missing it's in pretty nice shape. For the price, it was just begging for a new home.

Nice pickup! That’s a toughie. There an identical Boston Braves version as well, so pretty safe to say it’s a first-year Milwaukee pennant.

I believe the Tigers is legit for what it’s worth. I generally look at Clean Sweep, but missed this one.

Thanks Jason. My questions about the Tigers pennant were down to the quality of it's construction. The uneven cut, the wavy stitching on the spine stood out to me. but the font and the tigers head looked good to me. The fact that the listing mentioned homemade and not hand-made, was another question for me.

I'd like to be educated about the early manufacturing processes if anyone has insight. For early pennants like Greg's Cubs and White Sox examples, I'm guessing these have been made on some sort of manufacturing process even if that was a single room in a shop somewhere? Sewing machines were in wide use by 1905 so I'm guessing these wouldn't have been hand stitched. Is that correct?
