New Pennant and Request for Feedback.
Posted By: Mike H
This is a December pick up, but I thought it justified a new post. As many of you know, pennants are an area of strong interest for me (as are many other types of memorabilia). However, until recently I had never landed an oversized pennant or a pennant that dates to the teens. That has now changed. We have all marvelled over the collection of our own Mark Steinberg who has one of the finest pennant collections extant. Mark has added significantly to this board and posted some of the most impressive examples of memorabilia I have seen in some time. Recently, Mark gave me an opportunity to acquire one of his treasured large Tigers pennants. I have never seen another example of this piece and fell in love with it the second I laid eyes on it. The combination of size (14 x 36 not including tassels), rich deep color, incredibly detailed tiger head, and unique script text simply blew me away. Thank you Mark. |

I agree.... I think Dan and Greg nailed it. A tan-toned Mat to match the "Detroit" graphics, and a black frame. You can never go wrong with a Black frame, plus (in this case) it will perfetly compliment the black felt. |

Thanks fellas. I just returned from a couple framers. Both suggested mounting in a way that allows the pennant to breath (1/4 to 1/2")between the glass and pennant. Both want to stitch from the back in a few spots (obviously without going through the pennant)and use a bit of acid free museum tape in a few spots to mount on a cloth covered backer board. What do you guys think of that? |

Neutral color on the matting, black or dark wood frame, UV-protected glass, museum tape, and let that sucker breathe so you can appreciate the texture of the pennant (ala the below). Can't wait to see it framed, Mike! |

Mike, I think you could frame that with a toilet seat and it would still look awesome. Just like the Mona Lisa, nobody is going to remember the frame once they see this pennant. Congratulations on aquiring such a spectacular piece. |

Beautiful Pennant Mike, I love those oversized pennants. I too would go with a solid black frame with a tan/orange background matt. |
