44 long vertical pennant with applied lettering and elephant mascot along with all three blue tassels. Has a few tiny moth holes otherwise very clean. I'm told these pennants were believed to have been given to the players after their World Series triumph in 1910.

Wow! That is absolutely spectacular Jack. Fantastic pick-up.

I just can't get over how many incredible pennants I've seen posted on this board. Makes for wonderful viewing.

Jack-

I agree with Jimmy... that's a holy grail piece! Just a beautiful, majestic and historic pennant. Can you share how you acquired it? I believe Mastro had one about a decade ago, and that's the only one I've ever seen. It was even accompanied by a photo of an early automobile with people aboard, celebrating the A's Win, with this identical pennant draped for all to see (if I'm remembering correctly).

Great post!

It is one of my favoite pieces. I got it at Hunt's auction about 7 or 8 years ago. I'd love to see that picture.

Here you go, Jack....

An unreal companion piece to your magnificent pennant. I found it in the Halper Catalogue (Lot 1838).

Not only is your style of pennant pictured in this photo, but Connie Mack and Eddie Plank are in the Car (among others...) Another intriguing aspect of this photo is the Oakland Pennant also visible in the photo. A look into the future, perhaps??

I don't have my Halper catalogue handy at the moment for a higher res look - but it looks like the somewhat rotated out of line H in Jack's pennant is very simlar to the one in the old photo.
