If it was a similarly desirable Giants pennant, you’d already be IN Detroit … 😄

Nah, I’m cheap. Ask bocca.

Rob- I told you that other people said you were cheap. I never said it. What I really thing is.... : )

Here is a pennant that just arrived for me today. It's 3/4 size. Not the fanciest thing, but the only other time I have seen it for sale was from the estate of an original Oiler player. It's likely from their very early years. That copy also has the same spine/tassel system (a single excessively long spine that extends well beyond the pennant). I suppose they could have both come from a string, but it may have just been a cheap and economical way to have something tassel like. It's also just a single line of stitching.

I also can't help but notice that the ping pong table I use for pictures (it is good at not giving much reflection in photos) is starting to get really beat up from my teens playing. I may need to find a new picture taking location.

It beats a white table or a strap chair!

Thank you Marc for making this beauty available to me

Always loved the look of these vertical pennant/burgees by Trench, ca. 1967. Such an interesting look. I only wish they made them in a full size--this one's not even a foot long!

Sounds like a good pennant factory project. What would a full size look like?

Challenge accepted. I've actually been wanting to make a similar looking design, based not on this Trench/NFL series; but, upon a series of vertical pennant/burgees manufactured by ASCO during the mid-1960s.

Unlike the Trench ones, ASCO's were full-size. They also featured individual portraits of select players--all of whom were Minnesota Twins. See below.

I was thinking maybe a '65 Sandy Koufax CY Young Winner version might look pretty sweet?

What do you think Rick?
