Hey, pennant guys

Mark: I’m not so sure this, like the ones you mention, is not an Ad Flag. They made pennants at least through the early 80s - I have a monstrous looking Pete Rose hitting streak pennant from ‘79 that I buried somewhere. I think I’ve seen an ‘82 Cardinals will all the tell tale signs.

Marc: can you show the stitching on the back? Ad Flag did a good tight stitch - will help to identify

Here is the spine stitching from the 49ers 1982 pennant.

Not solid proof that it’s them, but it is consistent with Ad Flag. That + the known Ad Flag roster design seems like pretty strong evidence that it is them.

On a related note, Keezer (post 1950) and ASCO also stitched like this. It’s why they don’t suffer from loose threads.

It does look kind of Ad Flag-ish….the font, the guy.

The custodian got named on the pennant?

Apparently a clean clubhouse was very important to them! 😁

Eddie Logan - more commonly known as the (home) clubhouse guy.

Ahhh, makes sense.

Just made arrangements to pick up these three pennants, Senators, Expos and Mets. Not the greatest pics…Can anyone shed some thoughts on value?

About $60 for the trio if these are auctioned on eBay. A little more individually … I’d say $20-30 Senators, $20-35 Mets, $8-20 Expos. The Mets pennant is very cool and IMO underappreciated.

What can you guys tell me about this Sox pennant that closed on eBay a few days ago? Except for the condition, it's very visually appealing. The one thing that bothers me is the uniform the player is wearing. It's not consistent.

The same batter graphic appears on a few pennants from the mid 1910s, including a Federal League (Chicago?) pennant and a 1915 Phillies. I think this originated from a magazine cover. The makers didn’t worry about details I guess.

Exactly... details be damned...

The same Bunting Batter image was also used for the only known St. Louis Browns Oversized Pennant and a Miracle Braves Pennant that I have. It was also used on an issue of Baseball Magazine. I loved the "crossed bats" motif on the Chisox Pennant, but heard that his unusual bunting technique led to some broken fingers.

I was watching that auction and ready to bid. I probably overthought it but the price got too high for me considering the condition of the pennant.

Great looking pennant, even with its condition issues. Seller posted a few more pictures than another pennant seller we know...

When I first saw it ... I thought he was wearing shorts!

(A foreshadowing of unis to come??)
