Hey, pennant guys

[MK]

Wow! What a story. Great ending for both parties.

In doing some research today, I came upon this pennant from the 1913 Giants-White Sox world tour. I thought it was pretty cool.

"pretty cool"? I would say that's very cool!

Those early pennants are gorgeous! Couple of questions:
1) Are those the earliest known?
2) Were all teams represented?
3) Any complete collections known?

These are basically the earliest known series of baseball pennants. The approximate date is about 1910. IMO, this is the best series of pennants ever.

No, all teams were not represented. Kyle can probably give you who is exactly known. Mainly east coast teams.

This is about as compete as you’ll find in one place. Mark has some very nice examples in his collection.

These pennants are very very rare.

I was just reading Kyle’s blog about the “B.B.C. series”….Kyle feels all 16 teams were probably made but it’s impossible to say since so few have survived.

I'd be shocked to see some teams turn up, and truly believe that they were never manufactured for many teams.

I've been collecting pennants for 50 years, and have never seen a "BBC" Phillies, Pirates, Highlanders, Naps, Dodgers, Braves, Cardinals, White Sox, Browns, Tigers or Reds (which I would kill for). In fact, I have never seen an oversized Reds Pennant, period.

Maybe the "Dooin's Daisies" was a BBC Pennant (can't recall for sure), but if anyone can provide images of the pennants listed above, please do!

Way, way cool! Some truly historic events on this tour. Wonder if any other pennants from it are known?
