Hey, pennant guys

Damn, Gary, you find some treasures. I can’t remember the last pennant I’ve found….granted, I only collect one team…..and you just came up with five beauties.

Agree! Great pickups Gary....

That 1960 Pirates is not a rare pennant, but is super-rare in that condition. Tough one to find in decent shape, and yours is stellar. And the 1941 Bums Pennant is fantastic.... first example that I've seen. Congrats on another great haul!

The guy in the UK is kicking our asses!

Thanks guys.

I wasn't 100% sure about the Brooklyn pennant but I've not seen one before and couldn't find it anywhere so when I saw it in an auction I took a chance. Glad to see it paid off.

Not really happy with how it was shipped but nonetheless, this beauty arrived today. I am not a Dodger fan per se, but you can’t go wrong with a vintage pennant that pictures the Dodger’s bum! I think that the creases will probably iron out.

The pennant guide says it’s very rare and it’s from when the Dodgers arrived in LA in 1958.

Can’t believe they would ship it like that, but excellent pickup none the less. It’s a classic early LA Dodgers pennant, and their best one post-Brooklyn IMHO.

Just use a steam iron on medium-high heat from the reverse side only. Keep the iron moving, and not in one place for too long. Place the pennant face-down on a smooth clean surface prior to ironing… preferably plain white or beige, to ensure no color migration. The creases should come out just fine, but remember to apply just a little iron contact at a time, just to be safe.

Best of luck, and please show us the “before and after”.

Thanks for the advice!

Here’s how it arrived, sadly…
