Here's the link to the Central Association http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...e=CENA&class=C at baseball-reference.com

It looks like 1916 was the only year with Ottumwa

Thanks for the info Max.

I know there are some other pennant collectors aboard that may not have seen this post, so am bumping for my good friend & new Board member Kary! Please help if you can--I know he'll appreciate it very much!

These are terrific pennants. Although they represent towns with teams, the generic nature of the graphics and the absence of team names and graphics really limit the value. What is the overall length? Oversized pennants from the teens (34" plus not including tassels) have more value that traditional sizes.

That being said, these would probably sell in the $40-$50 range each (for those without damage). Sold as a group representing the entire league in a large auction, they should do better as collectors of that league may want the set.

Thanks for posting these.

Ottumwa Iowa is where Radar O'Reilly was from.

Anyone have any information on the Rhodes,Charlotte and Davenport pennants? It appears they were not from the Central Association like Ottumwa,Clinton,Muscatine,Dubuque and Fort Dodge. I see that the Davenport Blue Sox were from the 3I league(Illinois-Indiana-Iowa) but I can't find anything on these other 2.

I actually saw Radar O'Reilly at an antique arms show a few weeks ago. I believe he deals in antique Colt firearms. Sort of neat...
