These 6" long miniature pennants were issued in 1916 by the Ferguson Bakery of Roxbury Mass. Each small pennant included a black and white image with poses mirroring those of the M101-4 set of the same year. The pennants are relatively scarce today and very desirable. This pair features catcher Wally Schang and first baseman Stuffy McInnis, both of the Philadelphia Athletics. Schang's example appears to have been sewn onto something during it's lifetime and remnants of string are still attached tiny holes visible all along the outer edge. This example of McInnis is particularly attractive with crisp edges and maybe just a hint of wear to the top left corner.
