Thanks Rob, but I'm pretty sure the pin is from 1936. The difference is noted by the style of the 'S' in GIANTS.

Paul Muchinsky details this in his book

I'm keen to hear thoughts on the mini pennant. I'm guessing there's no way to know the manufacturer.

I posted the question over at VFC but I was advised to ask over here so here goes...

I purchased this pennant a few months ago. I do not know if its baseball, football, college, high school. It may not even be a sports pennant. I purchased it because I liked it.

Can anyone enlighten me what year (i know its pretty early) and what the approximate value is?

The pennant is oversized, approx 33". The felt is soft and thick and the letters seem sewn in because they are raised. It is definitely high quality.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had forgotten about that distinction. I have the same as yours, also with the big tin ball. Yours is 1.25", correct? I also have the 1951/54 pin in both 1.25" and 1.75."

As far as the pennant manufacturer, I can't help you.

Yep, mine is 1.25". Any ideas how to display / store the pin with the ball charm? That ball charm is cool but at 1.5" it doesn't fit into the normal display cases for pins.

Anybody here win this bad boy last month? Beautiful pennant, never seen it before. Seller described it as being from 1929-30, but I wouldn't rule out 1910, 1911 or 1913.

8.75" x 24". No maker's mark.
