I agree. A very cool set of pennants. I love that 61 Reds.

Is the 1944 Orioles made by Epstein? It looks very similar to one by Epstein with the sliding baserunner

This has been quite informative, interesting. I wasn’t previously aware of Annin Co. Looking on Worthpoint I see they focused on some nice collegiate material as well, but apparently not that prolific. I have never come across these amazing pillow covers and the flags. I would love to find one. The football pillow covers are fantastic.

Not sure if it is ANIN, but there is a Stanford football (I think it's football) pillow in this picture. And about 192 other things I'd like to own.

Amazing photo Marc...

Here's a less spectacular photo, but anything that pinpoints the year of a vintage pennant is worth posting, IMHO. For those of us who have this Tigers Pennant, it's cool to know that it's from 1964...

It could also be from before 1964 since it’s mounted on the wall. Who knows how long it’s been there.

I wish that photo I posted was mine. It's just a screenshot. I think someone on here sent me the link years ago. And catch on the Harvard pillow too. Being dated 1909 seems to put them in line with those in the ANIN catalog.

Mark: very interesting. I thought I had the exact pennant but mine here (cloth) looks a tiny bit different (proportional size of tiger head and lettering). I assumed mine was a late 60s ASCO, perhaps right before the trademark was required. In fact the lettering is identical to the orange Tigers with the 1969 MLB mark and it has the same stitch and “feel”.

I guess ASCO was spitting out team pennants earlier than I thought …

Interesting Greg…

I have it but it’s stashed away. I’ll try to find it. The colors and design of yours are indeed slightly different. I assumed it was a later 60s pennant too. Was a bit surprised to see it in a 1964 photograph.

Awesome Marc! There is also a Harvard football pillow on the back corner of the bed.

It's not football, but I love my Amherst pillow with a leather insignia.

That’s a great pillow Hank. I love the brilliant color.

Here is an all leather pillow from c.1915.

Here is another pillow from about c.1915 too. (this isn’t mine, but I saved the picture). The rowing graphics are remarkably similar to the work of other Reproduction Co. pennants from that time.
