February Pick-Ups

Always a fun thread....I'm not a Pennant collector nor a Browns fan but when I saw it I just loved the art deco look of the font and the lines and the bats and ball on the left side. I figured, how many Browns fans, from the few they even drew, had the money during a depression to buy this pennant? I figured not too many. It also drove me to purchase Mike E's pennant book. The seller stated 1930's, his book says 1940's. Either way - I just love it.

Picked up this wild bowling ball last week at an antiques show...I was told it was European....possibly a Basque version of bowling...couldn't leave without it!
