Attached are some recent Giants additions. Both tough to find. Both a bit rough.

The orange one has a funky tip. Can't tell if it was just a bad cut (notice bad cut on spine too) or if someone trimmed it later. It's tough to find in Orange. Pretty easy to find in Black. The funky cut on the spine reminds me of bootleg 49ers pennants, many of which have that same flat cut at the top (or bottom). Very stiff felt too.
Marc, 99% confident that the orange pennant was made that way. Looks like an Ad Flag pennant? There is no word mark like they usually have but I still suspect it is one. Modern (post 1960) Ad Flags are notorious for weird cuts, like they had sone guy use scissors. Very nice though!
