Yeah that’s right ... good to know!

The strange thing about that 1949 version is that usually the first team "Yankees" is the home team for the pennant, but it shows Ebbets Field. You would have outbid me, but that's what kept me from bidding as I only pick up Yankees pennants

Interesting ... is there a ‘49 version with Yankee Stadium?

Your observation might only pertain to a certain manufacturer. Like the ‘55 and ‘56 WS pennants that show the traditional Yankees logo and the Brooklyn cap ... they each have two versions with teams flipped. But I’m not sure Trench did this. The ‘55 pennant with fancy spine and forked tip comes in two colors but in each it is Yankees above Dodgers, in every version I’ve seen. Anyone else have info? I’m curious now ... thanks for info!

Speaking of two-team WS pennants ... I wonder what years have such pennants (known)? I know this goes back to A’s/Giants with the cool Ben Franklin pennant. But does anyone know if there are WS pennants for 1952 or 1953?
