| 1950 St. Louis Browns Souvenir Pennant.
This
vintage pennant picturing a batter, St. Louis Browns in white on
brown was sold at Sportsman's Park around 1950. In 1954 the
St. Louis Browns
moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.
Vintage
pennants are difficult to date to a specific season.
Many pennants were for sale at the ballparks for several
years in a row. Team logo's and artwork could help in
dating. Often team will use the same artwork on other
souvenirs like programs, and yearbooks making it
possible to date to a specific year.
Common
flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying,
creases, and crazing or cracked printing.
