This vintage 1998 Baltimore Orioles folding fan is a bright, wearable piece of Orioles history 🧡⚾
Closed, it sits as a compact black‑handled fan; opened, it bursts into vivid Orioles orange framed by black and gray, with “Orioles” script and team logos that match the uniforms and caps fans know by heart.

Closed, the fan measures about 6 3/4" long, and fully opened it spans roughly 11" x 9 1/2" 📏
The handle feels sturdy, and the folds are crisp—built so you could actually wave it through nine innings rather than treat it as a one‑time throwaway.

This fan is brand new NOS, pulled directly from the original dealer box 💥
The orange is rich, the graphics are sharp, and it displays beautifully on a wall, in a frame, on a shelf, or as a carefully used game‑day accessory. My pictures honestly don’t do the color and presence justice in person.

Made by Play by Play as an officially licensed MLB product, it comes straight out of the “It’s Baseball Season!!!” promotion era, when the Orioles’ orange and black identity was splashed across stadium promos, local ads, and souvenirs. For O’s fans who love that classic look, this fan is a perfect little piece of that time.

📚 Why this piece works for collectors
Paper promos were meant to be used hard and tossed, so a clean, unused Orioles folding fan from the late ’90s is exactly the kind of item that quietly disappears into collections. It’s affordable, instantly recognizable to anyone who loves Camden Yards and Orioles orange, and it doesn’t require the budget of jerseys or signed gear to own a real piece of that era.

I was able to save these from Florida and grabbed them before they were lost. Now they can head to Orioles fans and collectors who’ll actually enjoy them. Go O’s!!! 🧡⚾
