Hey, pennant guys

[ser1979]

I have this 34 tiger pennant that came as a walking cane. There is no spine on the pennant as the long end is sandwiched between the metal tube.

And if I’m not mistaken, that’s made of a silky material, correct?

I have the standard version, felt with spine and two-colored tassels.

Weird thing is, that exact lineup was never used in all of 1934.

The Steinberg Rubber Maid Collection is something else.

Top to bottom, who made the 14 pennants from the Rubbermaid Collection?

I especially like the Athletics and the giant lurking behind the Capitol.

A cautionary tale for those inclined to clean pennants. Someone regrets it.

If it’s pre-1970, just don’t.

Been there...looks like it was soaked too long in Oxyclean. The dye bleeds through the cracks in the screenprinting.

I had a post 1970 one that I faded the crap out. Shit happens.

The pennant is made of silk which makes it somewhat difficult to display. I also believe there is another version of the silk kind out there where Cochrane's name is spelled wrong?

I've also never seen the non-silk version you have. If you ever decide to part ways with it let me know so I can decide what kid doesn't really need to go to college, lol.

I was recently able to make a deal for the top pennant. Still need to iron out the tip. This copy actually has the best/most color (i.e., spray paint) I've ever seen. Those that have evidence of painting are usually even more faded. It's more common to find what appear to be monochrome versions, although it's unclear if the monochrome versions had the paint originally (and the paint completely faded over time) or never had paint. My monochrome version has no evidence of the orange in Giants or on the batter, but maybe has hint of yellow in the "explosion" where the ball is hitting the bat.

Mine is buried in a tub but I did have this picture. It appears to have color in Giants, but very very faint. The spine seems to be a different orange. Maybe the bottom one had the color completely faded away?
