Mike HMark. Thank you again for making this happen. For those who don't know, Mark parted with one of his treasured oversized pennants and I was the recipient of his generosity.
The pennant is about 3/4" from the glass. If you look along the right side of the pic you can see a strip of that suade board that covers the spacer. I visited two framers who specialize in both archival art and textile framing. They placed invisible stitches through just the surface of the felt on the back of the pennant as well as what they call museum tape. This type of tape is acid and residue free.
This pennant will likely never be removed from the frame, but it could be with the pennant completely in tact.
When considering the cost of preserving this piece, consider that this pennant is 36x14 and the frame is 42x22
