I saw that when it came up. Looks fake to me too. A few things caught my eye:
1. If you look at the seam where the Black and Gold sections join, the stitching doesn't look right to me. Here's the stitching from an early 2 part Tigers pennant sold by Hunt vs this one on Ebay.
2. The material doesn't look right
3. I'll defer to others with more knowledge, but I believe "2-part" pennants were from the early 1900's up to about the late 1910s. I don't know that they were being used in the 1930s.
Plus the lettering looks off. The D in Detroit isn't right. That D was used in the Tigers logo in 1917....not 1935.
