In addition to the one you've found, I've catalogued this mini pennant from 1941. There's also these other 2 that I have listed as 1940s (but no specific date).

Good info, Gary. That mini is clearly from the same company (I think WGN). The two bigger ones you posted appear to be “Epstein”.

Having parted ways with this some 20+ years ago - now residing with Mark - it was thrilling to finally find another.

One of the coolest pre war pennants ever made. Congrats Greg!

Congratulations. I would love to know why it was just sitting in a storage locker. I would guess the owner didn’t know its value.

How many people would? About one in a hundred, I'd guess, or maybe one in a thousand.

Really nice, Greg!

The owner had to have realized it was worth something.... He went to some expense to at least frame it.

Which, depending on how long it sat in that locker, may have adequately preserved it over the past 90+ years.

You never know what you'll get from ebay...

Origami or some poor soul who didn't know about the "irregular size" surcharge. I used to mail pennants flat for $3.50, all day long, "back in the day."
