They are 1936-38 BF3 mini pennants produced by the Red Ball Gum Co. (and other gum co.'s) and sold along with sticks of gum in small little envelopes. We know them best for their baseball pennants but they produced Colleges and Movie Stars as well.
The "Red Wings" and "Vols" pennants you have are fairly tough to find minor league baseball teams (notice the Int'l in the circle on the Red Wings Pennant, That stands for International League and the Sou'n Ass'n on the Vols stands for the Southern Association). These are categorized as Type 11--they are listed in the SCD book.
Hope this helps
