Very cool! Apparently, this F. Vanderherchen was a local nautical supplier in philly. They made canvas burgee flags, like this, for use on ships. So the A's must've called on them in 1914 to make their burgee flag for Shibe Park after the season ended.

I'm aware of no felt novelty pennant resembling this. I've never seen their name associated with felt pennants or novelty souvenirs, so ... I'm guessing none was ever made on felt?

My guess is that this was a special piece ordered by the team from this company with the intention of the pennant being flown outdoors and needing to be weatherproof. It would be interesting, I think to see if there are any old photos of Shibe Park, where the pennant is visible.

A beauty … the 1954 WS pennant from the mystery NY company. A tough one!
