Make a determined charge, to capture this collection of vintage baseball flags. Served up are (6) 1950s-1960s MLB pennants, in generally pleasing condition. Highlighted by several main stage event souvenirs, this group also includes examples from both former Washington Senators franchises, who are now the Minnesota Twins, and the Texas Rangers.   



Featured are:



1956 American League All Stars with the Capitol dome bursting through a baseball, dated 1956. Orbiting the pink and white appliqué, are small pennants with AL team names within their borders. The point suffers considerable erosion, and only the upper tassels are still attached, otherwise a respectable (VG) example.



1960 Pittsburgh Pirates National League Champions with team photo, has both sets of tassels attached, and features a fantastic, partially die cut mascot appliqué on the photo frame design. Rates as (VG) due to moderate photo wear, and a small tear on the bottom edge of the field. Legends Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski are seen seated on the ground, in the front row.



1966 World Series with L.A. Dodgers vs. Baltimore Orioles legend (VG-EX).



1950s Washington Senators first franchise with batter appliqué and lettering in white, against a green background (EX+).



1960s Washington Senators second franchise with pitcher over the Capitol Building, has faded blue tassels, and bold lettering/graphics (EX).



1969 Washington Senators second franchise with MLB logo (EX+).



The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $150.
