GregHi Rob,
I didn't frame the pennant myself, as the fellow I purchased this one from (as well as a very rare one from 1915) had them framed professionally.
As best as I can describe it, these pennants sit within an archival clear sleeve which holds the pennant in place, it cannot move. The matting then surrounds the sleeve.
I framed a 1918 pennant professionally a couple of years ago in which the framer attached the pennant to an archival background with a very fine (invisible) stitch. You can't even see it and it's not supposed to harm the felt. In fact, it probably strengthens it. I'm glad all three are now safe under glass.
All three look great. The framing's not cheap, but at least it's not a slab. I hate the way those thing look around a hundred year old piece of history.
Hope this helps.
Greg
