IMO, the 100% synthetic, stiff pennants weren’t produced before the mid-60s. Some would date them earlier, but not me.

I would say 1967-68 was the very first timeline for the stiff synthetic ones.
There was perhaps 5 years of overlap, in which felt, cloth and synthetic were all used. Felt and cloth pennants steadily diminished over this span, and following 1973, the only pennants being made were cheap synthetic garbage.
