It then occurred to me ... I don’t think I’ve seen any dated pennants of any type from 1952 or 53. No dated scroll pennants, and I don’t think there are any WS pennants that denote these years. The Tigers dated their pennants up to 1951, I believe.
Anyone have a 1952 or 1953 dated baseball pennant? Curious ...

Would this be the oldest dated pennant?
