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.

Beautiful piece of Reds history!

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!!

I think the three player one is a little tougher to find than the 12 player one. I would say around $150 for the 3 player version.
