Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

Some recent pickups. The Super Bowl XIX is a bootleg that is very, very tough to find. Thanks to Fballguy for finding it. Super Bowl XIX is prime 49ers fandom time for me, so I'm really happy with this one.

The yellow 49ers is part of a series that I have only seen as a tough-to-find mini-pennant (9 inches, I think). This 24-inch version showed up on ebay last week, along with 24 inch versions from other early 1960s (I think) NFL teams. I like it a lot. Am going to find a place for it on the wall.

The Astros is common in dark blue, but rare in Orange.

Cool pennants Marc! I’ve never seen any of those three before.

Thank you Greg and Jason! I really appreciate the information.

I'll bet the Niner Super Collector doesn't even have that yellow Niners pennant. In years of searching I've never seen a set of 24" NFL pennants. Super cool get.

So, you bought some others in order to get the Niners?

Happy Thanksgiving, Pennant Guys!

Thanks to my friends at Oxford Pennant in Buffalo, NY for sharing this wonderfully made Elton John tour pennant with me! These guys created a vintage-inspired pennant commemorating the legendary singer's final US concert, which took place at Dodger Stadium this past Sunday.

As you can see, their attention to detail was spot on, all the way down to the artwork and unique letter script used--an homage to another Buffalo pennant maker: Trench Mfg. Co., of course.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Kyle that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Good thing they didn’t try to copy an Ad Flag pennant!

Another fake. He would be doing himself a favor to check in on this forum periodically...

He bought that from the clown in Canada. No way he doesn't know that's not an original. A five year old would know that's not an original.

5 bids on it so far (and all 5 from different bidders). Sad

My goodness. This doesn’t even look like an intended fake, but more like someone 6th grade arts and crafts project (including hand sewing).

This is a sweet pennant. Looks exactly like the classic 1960’s Dodger Stadium type. Elton John is great show as well. My boats name is the Tiny Dancer.

Probably not doing himself any favors showing a stack of them in the picture, but still over $100 already.

[Domer05]

He's making a killing.... One sold for over $200 at auction

I thought the same. Neither the seller or the bidders are especially astute.
