Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

Yeah, great job, Marc. The red makes the process scary. The blue tassels on that pennant always seem to be badly faded.

Those could easily be dyed. Much easier than the bleaching process.

That’s great. Purple? Brown? Either way, the green tassels are crazy.

1911-17. Can’t be many of those around.

Purple!

That GF Electrics pennant is amazing. Wow!

Here are a few mini-pennants from the Pioneer League, a later relative of the Union Association that included the Great Falls franchise.

• 1940s-50s Twin Falls Cowboys
• 1950s Boise Braves

...and for good measure

• 1950s PCL Hollywood Stars

Awesome! I’d love to know the story behind the O-U-E ….

Two more minor leagues … the KC Blues is a full-size BF3, these are rare for majors, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another from the IL or AA or PCL. But I have seen the tiny ones. I think there’s a full-size BF3 collector who lurks around here … does anyone have or know of any other minor league versions?

Been looking for this 1965 WS champions pennant by Trench, for ages. Paid a bit more than I would've liked, but the condition was too good to pass up.

Simple and beautiful pennant, Kyle. Next to the Tigers, the Dodgers seem to have the most stadium variations. Two different cartoon batters and the very tough little guy with wings.

I think it may have been derived from the Hassan cigarette “Oh, you _____” pins of the same era. Oh, you Electrics.

The PCL Sacramento franchise were the Wolves for one year, 1914, named after their manager Harry Wolverton.

Incredible. One of the nicest pennants I’ve ever seen.

I think the "Oh you" originated from this song

Whoa! With those lyrics, it must have had the “parental advisory” label.
