The bigger mystery is the 1950 Yankees. Kinda looks like Trench design, but construction is very different. Many, but not all, of those are made in extremely soft and fragile felt. Almost like Kleenex. Yours looks nice and better quality. I think Mark has it and can confirm. The sister Phillies pennant has the same graphic.
You know, I never knew that about how the Expos got their name.

With regards to the 1950 Yanks pennant,it is extremely soft and feels very fragile, just like you described.
