Pennant framing questions

[scooter729]

It's probably hard to see in this pic, but when I got this 1912 pennant framed, I had them use some strong thread to loop around the tassles to hold them in place. It's all framed with no glue or anything, and totally can be disassembled and remain in its original state if desired. Photo corners are used at the other end to hold the tips in place.

A decent frame store should be able to frame a nice odd-shaped piece in such a way so as to not damage it and allow for it to be removed from framing at a later date if so desired.

This was the response from the seller, he runs a coin/collectibles brick-and-mortar business in NYC and has a couple dozen or so pennants for sale similarly framed... so I will say it’s a legit merchant..

“We send it to an archivist who has a special archival adhesive meant for this process. It's on the reverse of the pennant and it comes right off without any damage to the felt. PH neutral, acid free etc....“

I have no experience with archival adhesives. I asked to be put it touch with the archivist ....

Also thanks for the pics, guys, I like them!

Definitely sounds like the right answer - archival tape can be used for this purpose, and is the right way to do it.

The pennants below were all framed by the same company.
Cost was $225 per item.
