Yep it's the same. Thanks for the photo.

The only SF Giants pennant depicting Seals Stadium. It's rare in any form, but the version with only black graphics is more common (the second pic). I had only seen a worthpoint picture of the one with white paint. The discoloration seems to be how the felt aged, as the discoloration did not affect the spine.

Did you get that Giants pennant Marc? Nice find.

I just had these arrive in the mail today. I believe the White Sox pennant is pretty rare but I'd welcome any additional info. The tip is blunted but otherwise it's in pretty good condition.

The Indians pennant looks like someone used a marker or crayon to color some of the graphics. But I'm going to see if I can gently clean it.

Good pickups here. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that White Sox before.

Just arrived after a day scare of being delivered to a different house.

That’s so weird and cool. A 3/4 size screen on a full-size pennant.

There’s a late 60s Cubs pennant with a cartoon cubbie head that is made like that …

Is this the Cubs pennant?

Great pennant, Marc! Crazy how something never seen (to my knowledge) can surface. I wonder if Domer has any insight into that felt which is kind of “bumpy”?

Yeah, Rob, I know there are a number of Giants pennants that I have never seen for sale, but I at least have pictures of them (many from you). Something completely new was unexpected. I guess the last time that happened was with the last run Keezer pennant.

The seller told me that he pulled the pennant off of a garage wall at an estate sale in Palo Alto. It would not surprise me if it was made in and never left the Bay Area. There are tons of low- to mid-level quality San Francisco tourist pennants out there in the world and maybe some were made in SF? So there were local makers?

In some ways, having the "scene" to the left reminds me of the circa 1950 Trench champions pennants (see NY pennant below), although the art on the SF is not as good.

I don't know anything about bumpy felt.... But, I tend to agree that the style of this one resembles those pennants from the "insert ballpark name" series you point out, Marc.

Of note, here's a Cin'ti Reds one that just sold that is the proper 3/4 size at 8.5 x 26", which conveniently matches the typical dimensions of pennants from the above series--which I believe were all made by Trench.

I've got that one.... long and skinny for a 3/4 pennant. Seldom-seen variation.
