Thanks to Todd for elaborating on my post. I do not know that BF2s were actually sold by Mendelsohn, though it seems clear Mendelsohn was the source of the photos. I recall seeing ads for the pennants in a national sports publication, but that is based solely on memory of unrelated microfilm sleuthing many years ago. As Todd suggests, the assignment of the Ferguson name to BF2 derives from a Ferguson trade card as well as the coupon on the bottom of D381s that mentions baseball player and movie star pennants as part of an offered pillow top. The pennants on those pillow tops are of a different design than BF2 and use entirely different photographs. I am not knowledgeable about the large individual player pennants often credited to Ferguson. Do they feature photos from the BF2 catalog or D381s?
