Or, did Epstein continue making pennants well into the 1950s; and, finally venture into polychromatic designs, as others had begun doing?
Here's another possibility: did Epstein, which offered much more than pennants by the mid-century, begin outsourcing their pennant production to some external supplier? If so ... what if that company was Trench?
Below is the WS dueling pennant you referenced. Sure looks like it could be traced to Epstein--but, it has tassels, which Epstein seemed to have dropped by the 1950s.
Bottom line: We need more information on Epstein.

“we,” meaning you. Get on it.
While you’re at it, I’m still waiting for your ABCO(?) write up.
