To my knowledge, HANCO just made
this series of AL and NL minis from ca. 1965'ish....
Pretty poor quality, even for minis.
They were a vendor at the 1939-40 world's fair in NYC, so they likely made/sold some souvenir pennants there. Assuming so, I haven't seen any pennants from the fair bearing their maker's mark or label on it.
I haven't found too much on them pre-1960s. I definitely wasn't aware of these football pennants. I have to agree with the others: I would've pegged that Bears pennant as being from the 1940s.
