Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

I think that the Yankees batter in the green pennant and the Giants batter in this pennant are the same. I picked this up from a board member (EC), who (if I recall correctly) picked it up with a 1945 Giants program. Not 100% sure if the program and pennant went together or not, but maybe.

[perezfan]

Prior to reading Marc’s post, I was going to say 1947.

The Yankees were not AL champs in 1945 or 46. So I’ll stick with 1947 as my best estimate (ok, best guess )

[Duluth Eskimo]

Very similar, but the Yanks were off the WS train from 44-46. I don't think it's a 47, but it could be. I was thinking early 40's, but don't have anything conclusive. Hopefully some more info will pop up. Thanks

[Duluth Eskimo]

Just saw your post after I responded, not an arguement. Let me know what other think.

[murphusa]

Picked up these recently

[yankeesjetsfan]

Beautiful pennants Jim.

I love the older pennants. nothing beats the way these pennants were made. I just love the art on them and wish the pennants that are made today looked like these.

[pbspelly]

I have a nice BF Mini Pennant that I'd like to secure and preserve. Do the grading companies do authentication/holdering of mini pennants?

Mike, I agree 100%. I don't collect anything else, got into pennants purely because of the aesthetics. It all started for me with a desire to decorate a game room. Nothing compares to old pennants and yearbook covers ...

Some of my favorite NYY pennants. The more common blue pennants (including the 1960 scroll pennant) are among my very favorites, really cool graphics.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Hi Greg,

Those are some beautiful pennants. I love the blue pennant with the old Stadium featured prominently on it. I also really like the one with Uncle Sam.

I never understood why the Yankees didn't keep Uncle Sam as a mascot. They had Dandy in the late 70's, early 80's which was terrible. Uncle Sam would have been pretty cool. As a bobblehead collector, Yankee Uncle Sams would have made for a nice looking bobble.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

I have a novice question. I just came across a new minor league pennant of the stiff heavy felt. It is blue with a thin white border that has some dirt on it. Will this material soak in perhaps some Woolite or will it just come apart?

Totally agree....

Uncle Sam would've made an outstanding Yankees Bobblehead. I wish they didn't go with the generic version. It would've been awesome to also have a Stanford Pottery version.

Gibbs-Conner actually did it right. If you are somewhat new to vintage Yankees memorabilia and Figural Pieces, that would be a cool place to start. Not exceedingly rare, and not too expensive (as long as it's not a dated version - see below).

Another cool Yankees Figural Piece from the Golden Era is the Gehrig/Dickey Bank. These Banks are relatively easy to find, and won't set you back too far.

Hope this is helpful, and best of luck!

I'm with Mike and Greg...Nothing captures a piece of history for me more than pennants. The graphics, logos, feel, smell...all just do it for me. But, I've also collected some programs, yearbooks and media guides strictly for the cover art and have never even opened them.

A friend of mine in CT has an amazing football museum in his house. A large room with tall walls and high ceilings covered with pennants and programs. The room is amazing and looks beautiful. A work of art actually with its precision and detail. He designs "collection" rooms (not sure what the correct term is. He hates "man cave", though his does have a large TV in it. He prefers museum.) like his for a living. Pretty cool job.

I actually met him and discovered his room when I hand delivered some pennants he bought from me on eBay. Just by coincidence I was flying home a couple days later and we agreed to meet up. I was so impressed, I sold him some additional pennants and nodders I wasn't even interested in selling previously, just because I thought they'd look great and belonged in his "room". Last I spoke to him, he was going to be featured on ESPN and/or Sports Illustrated. Not sure whatever became of that. I'll have to check in with him.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Mark, those are some beautiful pieces & have been looking to add these to my Yankees collection, but I have never seen any of these pop up on eBay, ever. Maybe I am just not looking correctly or I may have to think about looking at auctions, which I have never participated in before. I have wanted to, especially when I see vintage Yankees or Jets vintage nodders. Money is always tight, so I have to find ways to find great pieces at great prices. I would also love to learn more about vintage Yankees memorabilia and figural pieces. Where would be a good place to start? Is there a book I can pick up?

Rob, your friends museum sounds fantastic. Please keep us up to date on if his space will be featured on ESPN or SI as I'd love to see it.

I'm with you guys, as well.....although I also really love pinback buttons. I think I have about 800 Giants pins and they tell cool stories as well.

Plus, they don't take up a ton of space!

Here's a portion:

[perezfan]

Rob:
Very impressed that you squeezed an actual TV into that space!

Mike:
If you are willing to venture outside of eBay, try Inside the Park Collectibles. Lou and John run a great operation. They have frequent auctions, and never a Buyers Premium. They are one of the very best when it comes to Pennants, Hartlands and a wide range of Figural pieces. I know they've had all of the Yankees Gibbs Conners, the Dickey/Gehrig Bank, and countless Yankees Pennants over the years. The prices stay pretty reasonable, and they are 100% trustworthy.

Here's a link to their site...

[yankeesjetsfan]

Thanks Mark, I will definitely check them out.

Rob, that a man cave or a part of your home? If I ever get a man cave, it will be part man cave, part living room. Love seeing pics of your awesome collection sir.

Mike

[Duluth Eskimo]

i ran across this photo I saved previously and thought some people may want some fairly definitive evidence on the date of this particular Yankees pennant. There is strong evidence to believe this is a 1938 Yankees World Series pennant. This lot was being sold as all items received and purchased at this game. Just some food for thought. Jason

[perezfan]

Thanks Jason!

Additionally, there are 3/4 size Pennants of the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants with the same Batter graphic as on the Mini Pennant you’ve pictured. So this helps to date those as well.

Much appreciated!

[seattlerainiers]

Here are some "detail" photos from the October 3, 1917 pre-World Series banquet feting the Al Champion White Sox at the Edgewater Beach Hotel.

I wonder if these incredible pennants survived?

Also included is a detail showing Jackson and Weaver at the dais table.

[perezfan]

A few of those White Sock Pins have survived. I know Mastro had a couple, among others....

But the huge White Sox Pennant looks incredible. Bet it was even more spectacular in living color. I, too wonder if there's any way it could have survived? That would be an absolute stunner.

[ooo-ribay]

Not quite as cool as the White Sox stuff, but I was under bidder on this, years ago. It went pretty cheap but I was just beginning to collect.

[pologrounds]

Buying pre 1930's Stanford and Cal sewn pennants especially LJSU Stanford pennants. Please send pictures and prices.

Picked up this first year Penguins hockey pennant. Have never seen another in my 8 years of collecting hockey pennants.

Hello, I am fascinated by this piece, from the 1910s.

It measures about 24 x 24 inches and each pennants is about 7&3/4 by 2&3/4 inches. They are different and larger that the common ferguson bakery pennants.

Has anyone ever seen these or any like them? And any comments as to worth for any of the pennants? There are some pretty good HOFers in there.

Appreciate any opinions/comments, thanks-

[MK]

Nice pennants. I really like the Yale with the Bulldog looking through the "Y" and the Cubs which I guess is from the 30's.

Great piece Rick

[matty39]

I can't imagine anyone ever destroying a pillow top to obtain the pennants.I have never seen an individual pennant for sale and hope I never will. This "pillow top" was given away by the Ferguson company in 1916 as a premium. I think there are only 4 or 5 in existence. Congrats if you won this last night. It is a wonderful piece.

A considerably worse condition one sold for just under $1700 on Heritage in August. It's now for sale on eBay for just under $4900 or best offer.

I really like that pennant. The shade of blue and the left hand border are unlike anything I've ever seen on a pennant.

[erikc21]

Just recently picked up this very rare piece! Seller had it framed in museum grade UV protection glass. Some pickups make you more excited than others and this is one of them!

[CobbSpikedMe]

I know this isn't baseball, but as a Saginaw Gears collector this is my favorite Gears pennant. It's a 1976-77 IHL Turner Cup Champions photo pennant. I've only ever seen this one and love it.

My second favorite is my team signed example.

That's a great pennant and a really tough one.

Hey thanks! I wasn’t intending to get it and then I did...sometimes the best finds are the unexpected surprises!

Gotta love a name like the Saginaw Gears!

Was there a Columbus, OH team in the IHL at that time? Seals, maybe?

edit: just checked....Owls. Loved that logo!

Yeah but do you have the blue version?

[ooo-ribay]

There are sooooooo many dopes on ebay. Lately, I’ve been seeing slabbed and graded Fun Foods or MLBPA pins being “offered” at $500+. They’re worth about a buck. You gotta be a dope to send them to PSA, in the first place.

So rare that there only 5 others on Ebay at this very moment.

[ooo-ribay]

Can I assume the 1907-08 is a repro?

Great pickup! Love the pennant and how you’re displaying them.

This is a screen grab from last night's Antiques Roadshow. I've never seen this pennant. Is it just me, or does it look oversized? I didn't think they did oversized pennants in this era. Does anyone know anything about this pennant? Value?
