In the old days of ebay, we’d be able to reach out to the buyer who’s about to get duped.

If you look closely at the pennant, there are minor flaws that don’t seem natural. Those pennants don’t crack or chip.

Somebody posted this as a 1915 Red Sox pennant. I'm a card guy, not a pennant guy. Can anybody help with this one?

If it is 10” by 30” then it *might* be a Detroit Free Press Red Sox pennant from the time, as they made city-only pennants for the A.L. teams. I think these pennants have two-colored tassels, also this pennant doesn’t seem to size up. Otherwise it’s pure speculation as far as year and team/sport.

Absent the 3D lettering and 2-color tassels, I seriously doubt it's a Detroit Free Press pennant. Not positive it's even a Red Sox Pennant, although I would lean towards "yes". The colors are right and the style is consistent with known exemplars.

Still (IMHO) there's a 10 - 20% chance it's just a period city/souvenir pennant. As far as it being specifically from 1915, I see no evidence of that. There's really no way to pinpoint the year without a vintage photo, advertisement, catalog listing, etc. The year 1915 seems very plausible (given the style), but the owner would need to share specific provenance/information to that effect.

I am not much of a pennant guy but thought I would share my most recent acquisition

That’s fantastic! Great piece!

I have a chance to buy this Cubs pennant. I'd appreciate anyone who could give me a value on it. I could only find one like it but that one was autographed by all three players for $300.00. Thanks in advance!!
