Rob, from about what time would this style pennant have been?

Very definitely early 60’s. There is a very similar pennant for the 1962 NL Champs.

Thanks. It's similar in style to one I have from Dinosaur Land, which is just down the road from me in Winchester, Virginia, and still open after 75 years! I've always thought of it as probably from the 70s or 80s, but from what you say I guess it's earlier. Very cool.

Hank, I'm not too terribly far away from you. I'm in Glen Allen, just outside of Richmond. Driven through Winchester many a time.

Here is the blue, Rob.

But I've always thought the bridge scene pennant had to be the most labor intensive. It is certainly the heaviest. So heavy with graphics/paint that it is almost always cracked in many places. This one is pretty good. Not sure what happened to the spine (and it has a hole punched into it at the top of the graphics). I'm on a super lazy quest to find a really mint version of this pennant.

That Bridge Pennant is exactly what I had in mind when I called the Giants' early 60s pennants "ambitious". Can't think of anything else that even comes close, in terms of colorful and "busy" graphics.

“Only” six colors though

I forgot to count white in the one I showed. I think white would push that one to seven.

We met at Rich's little card show and tell a few months ago, if I'm not mistaken. Let me know when you pass this way again.

You are correct! I recall that now.
