Hey, pennant guys

Yes, this two-color variant would have required two screens--one per color. You could use the black ink screen for the all black variant; but, you'd have to "unblock" the portions of the stencil where the white would've gone.

I love this pennant. It's by Trench; and yet it's so different from the Dodgers/Coliseum pennant, from the same era.

Because the felt was orange, it was light enough to print the stadium graphics directly over the felt, sans white underbase. You couldn't do this if the felt was any darker or else the black ink detail would have no contrast.

Someone posted a link to video on the main page about a Boston Card show from 1988. At the end of the video, there is a picture of a pennant. Howley day at Fenway park. I guess it was from 1926 (or is it 1927?), honoring the coach of the St. Louis Browns.

Repco, ya think?

[Domer05]

Probably not by Repco. They seemed to have left the felt pennant business by the 1920s; perhaps sooner.

Very unusual! Unusual spine stitching, too.

The Tigers had some great pennants.

edit: glad I don’t collect Tigers. :P

Does anyone do or know of anyone that does pennant repairs? I picked up this pennant for almost nothing and would like to try and restore it. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks

I’ll first state that I have no skin in the game by sharing these auction links. Just wanted to pass along in case there were any Red Sox fans that wanted to score some rare penants off a smaller auction site for hopefully a good price.

It appears they are from 1915 and 1916.

I think it was 1927. The rear of the photo in that link is dated 1927. I also found this NY Times article from 1927 about Dan Howley Day.
