Offered is a rare 36" oversized Chicago Cubs pennants dating to circa the 1910's. Pennant is constructed of burgundy felt, which was used by the Cubs almost exclusively for their early pennants, with "Chicago" screened adjacent to a bear depiction. Given that the Chicago Bears did not come into existence until 1922, by which point professional oversize pennants were no longer produced, and that Bears pennants appear almost exclusively in black or blue with orange we are confident that this is a Chicago Cubs pennant despite the bear depiction appearing to be mature past the typical Cub stage. Pennant remains in remarkable overall condition, especially given its size and vintage, with slight discoloration to the white felt along the left edge. (91S0310)
