Ad Flags used a thick cottony felt through the early 50s, as evident by their Phila A’s, Boston Braves, and STL Browns. There are some Bkyn Dodgers where the felt is thinner but still soft and essentially unable to be creased.

True if we're talking about the stiff stuff of the mid to late 60s....single bar football helmet or later AFL pennants for example. But that's not what this one is made of. I think Jason's 50's estimate is probably spot on.
