Don't know definitely but looks like 1936....any baseball pennant with art deco style graphics is a winner, you don't see a lot of them...congrats nice P/U

It's not an A's piece but the art deco and baseball reminds me of this 1938 booklet at the 09' National in Michael McKee's booth....What was I thinking not to buy this for $75.00....covering the National for a story is overload mind numbing and this proves it LOL...

Jeff, I believe your pennant is a 1936-38 BF3 premium. You will find them listed in the Standard Catalog as type 12 BF3S.

That's not a BF3 (IMO)...isn't that a 27" pennant (see the tac head impressions)? It's 1930s in design. Jeff, you have one HELL of a pennant there. I've never seen another.

It is a BF3 premium. Red Ball issued full-sized pennants for the 16 MLB teams, but not for player pennants.

Here is the BF3 mini pennant that would have been given away with the gum.

Interesting stuff Chris. I'm not familiar with them. Are they rare?

[murphusa]

the stuff that is on the last few pages of this thread makes net 54 worth it.
Informative and neat.

I own two of the premiums. They are actually 27-28 inches and with the tassels I guess they called them a 30 inch pennant.
