Pennant collectors

[Donscards]

Speaking of Pennants I just purchased this 1915 Boston Red Sox Pennant yesterday---cost a good penny but I really like it and a scarce one---thought I just show it to the pennant collections thanks, Don

Don:

That's a beauty! I have seen a few similar in style but never one exactly like yours. I am sure that many Sox fans here are drooling over that one...
Can you post the dimensions (of the pennant itself- not the frame?)

Congrats on a beautiful (and very unique) acquisition!

Thanks for the nice comment size is 34 1/2 long (not counting the tassles) by 11 inches high down to the tip---Don

FANTASTIC piece Don...that would be the pride of any collection. I love the simplicity and the rich thick felt.

Don- Simply put, stunning. I love the way it is framed and matted. That piece would be the hallmark of any pennant collection. Heck, even a Yankeee fan would have to appreciate that one.

any additional thoughts about authenticity. Another identical Dodger pennant available on ebay

All of these pennants are absolutely authentic. As stated earlier, this is a common (somewhat) style and most likely produced by the same maker. Also previously stated, the 1919 White Sox is a beautiful pennant. I have not seen the 1927 Pirates nor the Browns, but both 1920 versions I have seen before. The buyers of these pennants got a great buy if you ask me as the three champion pennants as EXTREMELY rare and well worth the amount paid. I bid on all three, but was buying them for resale and was not surpised I did not win them.

On a side note, I find it ironic for all the auction and authenticator bashing that happens nowadays people have a hard time believing that authentic great sports memorabilia can still be found by common folk and sold on their own. Maybe the buyers will auction them in a large auction house, but I hope all three went to good homes and will stay for years to come.
