my holy grail! - Crosley Field Flag

[wmullis]

A week ago I didn't even know this existed but as soon as I seen it come up for auction I knew it was something I had to have. Being a Reds collector I don't know of a piece of memorabilia that I could ever own to top this. There are many things that could cost me more but the fact it is one of a kind and the sheer size is certainly going to be the focal point of my collection. I already have a section of Crosley Field seats that will compliment this flag and have decided to dedicate an entire wall of my basement to Crosley Field era memorabilia. The description of the auction is below, I may try to get in touch with the Reds Hall of Fame to see what else they can tell me about this peice.

"Fantastic piece of Cincinnati Reds memorabilia: large Cincinnati pennant flown over Crosley Field as the League Standings flag - NOTE SIZE. This flag actually flew over Crosley Field as you entered the stadium to represent the clubs standings in the Division. It dates to the 1940's to early 1950's and resided in the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame until recently. There are several 'team repairs'on the flag and it has been well used. It is however wind tattered and shows signs of use and wear. Size: 106" x 55""

Anybody have a picture of the entrance to Crosley that may show this flag?
