Mary Pickford / Famous Players light blue felt 3x8 inch pennant. Photo by Moody. c. 1915
These felt pennants were manufactured by a number of different companies in the 1910s and beyond. While they all featured photos of the famous players of the day, they were offered in varying sizes and colors. The particular style of pennant above is pictured in the below ad from Motion Picture Classic Magazine. According to the ad, the pennants were not for sale but you could get a whopping 15 for subscribing to the magazine for one year -- I'm uncertain if that's just sales talk or if you really couldn't purchase this series elsewhere. The ad is not part of the collection and for reference only.
