Yes it’s possible that they kept the pennant running for a number of years. It was commonly done by many teams, and is quite possible.

I can date that style to 1951 because I have had a couple from that series of Pennants with ink hand writing on the reverse, commemorating the event. Both were dated... the St. Louis Browns was July something, and the Philly Athletics was from a Field Trip of some kind in August... both dated 1951.

But as you said... they could possibly have been produced for a number of subsequent years. The only evidence against that is the fact that this series is quite rare. The ones that were produced in long runs are typically more common today... like the Indians Pennant with Chief Wahoo’s Head, or the Reds with the Batter inside the “C”, or the Pirates with the Pirate Head biting the Knife. The ones you see over and over... and this Giants version is not in that category.
