For example, these two were definitely made by Repco; and yet they bore this more contemporary looking "Spalding" label on the reverse.... Why the updated label? It was required (by Repco, no doubt) that the legalese, "Patent Allowed, Patent Applied For" appear on the product to protect the patented method (a.k.a., the "Udall Process") used by Repco to print such detailed graphics on felt.

Spalding also distributed other pennant makers' products throughout the 1910s. Here's a 1916 excerpt from one of their catalogues showing that year's offerings....
Note that the model "S" retailed for $1.50. Adjusted for inflation, that's over $40 in 2024 money. So, not cheap! I've seen other pennants with more traditional Spalding labeling, like yours Greg, and they featured that same woven spine look. I do agree: yours likely pre-dates 1910.

Thanks Kyle. I hadn’t realized Spalding distributed Repro Co. pennants.
Here is a banner of mine, c.1920, measuring about 60’’. |

Last night was Hunt's Annual Super Bowl Eve football auction. Not too much in there that excited me, but it's always interesting to see what things sell for. Some Baltimore Colts pennants went for ridiculous amounts...Such as this one, which could've been had for $95 on eBay (in better condition too, just to pour a little more salt in).

Equally if not more absurd...
https://huntauctions.com/live/imagev...=307&lot_qual= And I "get" this one because of the rarity and that game's immense importance. But it still sold for a price that must've made the consignor giddy with joy... https://huntauctions.com/live/imagev...=308&lot_qual=

I'm sure many of you have seen the 55 Brooklyn World Champions Trench knockoff. Consulting with some members on here, they look like they have some value. Any thoughts?

I’ve always felt that these were made some years ago by someone who passed them off as authentic. Don’t know for sure. They have been re-circulated by reputable auction houses, too. The 1955s BKLN and NYY scrolls were both cloth, this is felt or felt-like with subtle differences in the graphics, and for some reason the spine is sewn shut.

Figured I’d share these color variants of an Eagles pennant The green version of this pennant is pretty common, the red is very scarce and I believe I’ve seen only one other aside from the one I own. Then a couple of months ago I added this blue variant - it’s the only one I’ve seen.
