Souvenir pennants featuring the team
city or team name were first produced
around 1905-1910. One of the rarest of
all baseball pennants, this black felt
ballpark souvenir pennant features the likeness of White
Sox owner Charles Comiskey over a
baseball and crossed bats design. The
team name "SOX" is to the right. The
pennant dates to the 1910's, from the
era of the Chicago White Sox 1917
World's Championship. These pennants
were sold at Comiskey Park just before
the "Black Sox" scandal of 1919.
Common flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying,
creases, and "crackling" on the
printing. Sometimes people will trim
down a pennant to rid it of the frying
or other flaws like a flat tip (point)
Caused by being pinned up and ripped
off. Any of these flaws will degrade
the pennant significantly.
Doctored pennants A term used to describe a pennant that has been altered
to cover up a flaw, is a practice that
is frowned upon among the collecting
community, and could sell for less than
a pennant with the flaws it was meant
to cover up. In general full size
pennants measure 12"x30" and the early
over sized pennants roughly 14" x 34."
