Mark and Kyle - my question was unclear…I was more wondering about the pennant material under the spine. On the pennant on the right, it’s noticeably “squared” i.e. 90 degrees to the vertical cut of the left side.

Some pennants have squared tips, uneven spine, etc. It’s pretty clear that many were made that way. I have pennants with three tassels in one spot. I just think they weren’t terribly careful. The “sliding runner” pennants are also known to have a little notch on the top edge. |

BTW - this pennant is shown in the 1963 merchandise ads. I think it's unique and undervalued. |
That is my first-ever pennant. My dad bought it at Candlestick Park during the 1964 season. Very special day when he brought it home, and miraculously I still have it!

Merry xmas to me!
For a design that was so common across high schools, colleges, and pro teams for a time (1940s), there never seems to be very many of these for any individual team and I have been looking for this one for a long time. |
Congrats Marc! Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before.

Looks great Marc. Interesting too that the Niners version is the only one that I can recall seeing in which the player graphic overlays the font.
Rob...Thanks for checking out the site. 76.7% are mine....to be exact.:D |

I think your pennant may have answered the “squared spine” question for me. I’m thinking the spine felt was probably cut after it was sewn on. On your pennant, the cutter angled the top and squared the bottom, but avoided cutting into the pennant. Sometimes, they may have squared the spine, while cutting through the body as well…..then, they went to lunch. |
