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.

I agree with all of this....
And wasn't this same pennant already discussed at length, either in this thread or another? We clearly deemed it to be a Franken-pennant. I believe that someone took an early Princeton Pennant and melded it with a Detroit City Souvenir Pennant.
Best to stay away from this one.
