Yes, those PM-10s must have come with the mini-pennants, or perhaps came separately with attachment required by the vendor. The red, white, and blue ribbons on your 1937 All-Star pin, along with the 1&1/4 inch size of the pin, I have on two other Senators pins, which could date them to the same era. One has a small plastic batter and the other has a keychain with a gray plastic glove and white ball. I've always thought they were period, and their similarity to the all-star pin could date them. I assume that plastic accessories predate metal ones, generally speaking, though I have no proof of that. We've all seen the store displays of 50 or so keychains with metal gloves, balls, and bats, I'm sure those have been a great resource for dealers creating the Frankensteins. That had never occurred to me before now.
