    pennant.jpg Anyone have an idea of the value of this pennant?

    I know that it is extremely rare because I have
    Been looking for many years & have not found another one like this one.
    26" x 7 5/8"
    I was told it is from the 30's
    It is in mint condition
    thanks

    Value is all over the place for similar, even older like this, but if this is mint maybe 100-200.

    I can't find it either. I am not really getting a 30s vibe from this. Seems a bit later to me but could be mistaken. You might contact this site here for some insight.

    Maybe you should check with baseball or sports auction houses...

    I'm not so sure that C is that old. You might want to research their changes in logo styles.

    2 baseball collectable places I contacted told me it was from the 30's. I did not offer it to them for sale at the time.

    :) Ok. :) I only said so because I've seen many this morning though none like it and it seems a more modern font is all. Maybe the public didn't like it or something else about the design so it was short lived. :)

    Thanks " KingofThings" for the logo links.
    But, that is exactly my point I can not find this one any where; nor can anyone else find it...
    Again, so far it is one of a kind.

    At the bottom of this site's page is a place to talk with others about such things.

    I'm trying to help you pin down the year... ;)
    ~
    p.s..... Perhaps this was a pirated item at the time, or later, and may be why it's rare so...

    Here's one in a lot with othe Chicago Clubs' memorabilia. The description of it:

    "1930's Cubs - Wrigley Field pennant, blue flannel with white and colored applique, white spine and tassels, grades about EX (broken tassels and reinforced spine), graphics are bright and well-preserved."

    If the full description isn't showing, click the + sign to the far right on the "Description" line.
