Vintage 1940s Ted Williams Pennant with 1946 World Series Stadium Pinback

A rare and remarkable collectible for baseball fans and memorabilia collectors. Ted Williams, arguably baseball’s greatest hitter, played his entire for the Boston Red Sox. Memorabilia from his  legendary playing career is always highly sought after by collectors. Interesting pieces like this are especially coveted, as they offer a piece of baseball’s history and honor his legacy. He is truly a baseball icon and certainly a hobby favorite. 

The pennant, featuring the classic Williams' swing, embodies the spirit of mid-century baseball fandom, while a 1940s seldom-seen World Series stadium pinback from this era adds additional value and historical connection. Large white, block letters spell out the Splendid Splinter's name, along with his team--the Red Sox. Together, these items make a compelling display, offering fans a piece of baseball's golden age and celebrating one of its most memorable players in history. 

The 1946 1 1/4-inch cello pin remains in pristine Mint Condition, free of any foxing or spotting, with its original ribbons, bat, and ball still intact. An intriguing detail is the pin's label: "World Champions, Boston Red Sox, 1946." This label, while optimistic, proved inaccurate as the Red Sox fell to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1946 World Series. Known in the sports memorabilia world as a "phantom pin," such items are considered quite rare and highly collectible. This charming backstory adds a layer of intrigue and character, making this a delightful piece of baseball history and a great conversation starter for collectors.

Both items are expertly showcased in a beautifully crafted framed display. The display is protected under ultraviolet-resistant plexiglass, ensuring long-term preservation of the memorabilia by shielding it from harmful light exposure. Encased in a sleek black frame that perfectly complements the pieces, this presentation enhances their visual appeal, creating an elegant and professional display that any collector would be proud to own.
