Nice find. Wonder if they had a catalog showing their entire inventory?

I think Kyle has a decent collection of old pennant brochures. Cool stuff, as well as great reference material.

OT - along the same lines, I would love to find an old ad for the "weirdo" bobbing heads.

They most certainly did issue a sales catalogue! See the below ad for W.C. Kern, published in 1903 (1903!).

All of these companies regularly issued catalogues back in those days. Typically, you had to write to the company and request one; then they'd mail you one ... and another the next year, and so on and so forth.... Most were printed in black and white; but some featured color imagery. Most were a dozen or so pages in length; but, some, especially the bigger flag makers and/or sporting goods companies, would issue sales books totaling a few hundred pages. The prices were always wholesale, with the unit price diminishing on every additional dozen pennants ordered.

Unfortunately, I don't own a W.C. Kern catalogue; nor have I ever seen one. But perhaps one day....

In addition to the below 1903 ad, here's two more from W.C. Kern from 1905, and 1909. Note that none mention anything about professional baseball pennants.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday; two sets of Trench mini pennants in original packaging, one AFC and one NFC. Measures about 20”x12”. I couldn’t resist.

That is pretty cool stuff.
Any idea what year those two were from?

Trench pennants
 
It would have to be between 1971 and 75.
