1940s Habana Cuban Baseball League Felt Pennant.
Lot 335. 1940s Habana Cuban Baseball League Felt Pennant. Organized baseball in Cuba is almost as old as it is in the U.S. During a span of more than 100 years, one rivalry has stood the test of time - Habana and Almendares. These rivals met in the first Cuban League game, on Dec. 29, 1878. This pennant dates from the period when Cuba was a host of the “Winter Leagues.” White artwork on a red field reads “Habana” with the tail of a stylized Lion intersecting the “H.” The 6 ½” x 17 ¼” pennant, plus tassels, has a small hole near the base of the “H,” and two pinholes are visible. Cuban baseball collectibles are not easy to find, and this is an attractive pennant!
Winning Bid $92.
