(LOT 53)
1916 Ferguson Bakery BF2 Ty Cobb Felt Pennant
Cataloged as BF2, these felt pennants were distributed by Ferguson Bakery, a Massachusetts company. These triangular pennants measuring about 6" long came in an assortment of colors and included a rectangular, black and white photo of various players. Hanging downward, the player's team was printed at the top and the player's name was at the bottom. Immediately, some of the images will look familiar to collectors as the same pictures were used in the M101 Mendelsohn/Sporting News sets. Ty Cobb was definitely one of the more popular felt pennants. In all, 97 pennants are known to date, though it is possible that a few more could be discovered with time. The set includes many big names, including Joe Jackson, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Eddie Collins, Buck Weaver, as well as this ever so popular felt pennant in this lot: TY COBB! Other than the lines through the last two letters in "COBB", the front and back of this felt are in overall very nice condition.
