Really loved our interactions, and boy did we make some great deals back in the day!

Thanks for the kind words and hope all is going well,

Yes we did. I think our first transaction was with your Willie Mays Pennant.
That was the start of our realization that we were condition "freaks"

Cool player pennants, Jerry. I keep mine together, too, although I don’t have as many.

Hi-

Here is something unusual. It is a Philadelphia Phillies pennant from Mike Ryan Motor Sales. It is signed by multiple members of the mid 60s Red Sox including Tony C (but no Yaz unless I missed seeing his signature).

Mike Ryan Motor Sales was in Haverhill MA so I am not sure why they made a Phillies pennant but I am guessing it was made when Ryan was traded to the Phillies (the dealership was run by his uncle but he worked there). Has anyone seen an unsigned version of this pennant? Did the motor sales company make any other pennants?

Super cool! I can’t make out the mark in the last picture…

Thank you! It says American Knit Wear and Emblem Mfrs Emblematic Sports Wear. Did they make any other major league pennants?

American Knitwear is Keezer manufacturing. You can look them up on Domer's pennant fever blog.

I know I have seen a copy of this pennant sell at least one other time. I don't believe it was autographed, but I'm not certain.

Thank you! I thought the logo looked familiar. I have a vague memory of seeing another one too but I might have confused it with this one (this came from a Massachusetts Americana dealer's estate and he had it for sale at a few ephemera shows several years ago).

I knew the graphics were Keezer but wasn’t sure the mark was. Pretty bizarre that they did a special run for a car dealer. I wonder if they did other special runs?
