And I'm not talking about holding something that is decades old or the pure historical nature an object may possess - although, there's a bit of that.
It's just that I find it weird how different those times were.
For instance, check out the circa 1940's Brooklyn Dodger pennant above that is currently for sale at Hunt Auctions (auction link here). It features an old Dodger mascot who I am sure most of you have heard of and seen. It is of the Dodger "Bum" created originally by newspaper editorial cartoonist Willard Mullin and popularized further by the clown Emmett Kelly in Brooklyn.
