Basically 11” without tassels….I’d call it a mini. I think your guess of an era is probably correct. Perhaps a bit later…

Thanks, Rob. It’s a cool little piece.

Another mini pennant question....

I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this pennant? I think it's from 1936 World Series (Giants vs Yankees). It's about 9 inches + tassels.

I don't think it's part of the BF2/BF3 series.

I’ve always assumed these mini dated pennants were made with the intention of attaching to a small bat and selling them at the World Series.

I'm curious to know what you guys think about whether the top pennant in this picture might be older that the one below it. And when I say older, I mean maybe 5 years or so. Maybe early 1950s vs. later 1950s. To me, the top pennant has notably thinner tassels and I associate thinner tassels with somewhat earlier pennants.

The answer to this question really is not all that important, and I understand that there is almost no way to really know. I'm just curious what people think.

Interesting pennants. Don’t look like Trench nor WGN. Neither one has the really thin tassels that are indicative of the earlier WGNs. My guess is that they are roughly the same age although the feel of the pennants could tell a different story.

I purchased this pennant the other day and was wondering if anyone in the group could possibly shed some light on the history or if they have seen one like this before. I did a quick google search for York County Southern League and came up with just a few pictures. Any help would be appreciated. Also any help on how to convince your wife to let you display an 8ft pennant would be appreciated, lol

I like the font on those. I also like the quirkiness of “49,” rather than “49’ers.”

As far as dating….. you’re the 49’ers expert!

I think they're identical twins, but the one on top came out first.
