Thanks all, for the nice comments... it's slow going, but definitely taking shape. Those framed oversized pennants are heavy, and it's tough to climb a ladder with one hand while holding on to the frame with the other.
They're higher up than they might appear.... really wishing that this project was done!
TOTHRK... That Pirates Pennant is from the teens (Honus Wagner era) and is the only one I have seen. It's obviouly rare, and possibly a lone survivor. The graphics are all embroidered, as opposed to painted or screened on. The condition is pretty amazing, given its age. It has a Spalding Bros. tag on the reverse. That one and the Tigers pennant above it are immense... you can gain a size perspective by looking at the door frame below, and the two Cubs Pennants to the right (which are normal full-sized pennants).
That diamond-shaped thing in the middle is a 1906 White Sox Champs Mirror/Coat Rack (in case anyone was wondering what the heck that was).
