Steam iron the reverse side only (medium heat). Keep the iron moving, and not in one place for too long. Practice on a couple of cheap/expendable pennants first, until you get the hang of it. Do not iron the front side.

Some turn out better than others, but ironing seems to work to a certain extent on virtually all all types of cloth/felt. Go easiest on the white pennants, as they will show brownish burn marks more easily than darker pennants. Keep that iron moving, and did I say not to iron the front side?

Best of luck.... let's see the before and after results, once completed.

A couple of new arrivals.

It's my first Astros pennant. The price I paid for it was less than the cost of the toploader it came in. I do love a bargain.

Awesome pickups, Gary...

That Smoking Bum is truly a classic.

Yeah, those Astros Trench pennants don't sell for much at all. But a Colts from possibly one year earlier is easily in the hundreds.

I'm sure that many of us were watching this pennant sell on ebay this week. I was not a bidder. I'm curious how faded it is.

Well…They’re not called the Cincinnati Oranges.

What did it go for? Color me mildly suspicious.

I purchased the 1919 pennant. I went back and forth on authenticity as well. Seeing it in person was not an option so I took a chance. I will say some of the issues I had with it were satisfactorily answered. For example, one issue was no tassels (there is clear evidence of where there were once red tassels on the spine according to the seller). Once in hand I'll closely inspect and seek additional thoughts on it. If it doesn't pass muster, I'll work with the seller and Ebay to return it if needed.
