Thanks
Thanks everybody. These pennants clearly fit the style seen most often in the old Browns and Cardinals pennants that you see every now and then. They share in common: tassels that are the same color as body of pennant, paint along the wide end as opposed to a seperate sewn-on strip of cloth, and city name written vertically along wide end. The more common STL pennants have the tassels sewn on; the '39 Browns and Cardinals tassels are attached by grommets like the ones we are discussing. In my opinion these are definitely very old - can't tell for certain without holding them but I'd be at about 98% sure. I agree with Mark in that if you're gonna reproduce a pennant, you'd go for a better looking one rather than one with a generic baseball design; and even if this was done some years ago, you sure don't see many of them around.
