They made some ca. 1939 souvenir pennants for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, as well.

There’s no rhyme or reason to that. But Greg, is your Sioux City a professional pennant? “There’s a chance.”

I’d feel it would be a good chance if the town wasn’t named after a tribe (or more accurately a group of tribes) …. But still possible!

...dad asked me if I wanted them. He said they were stored in a smaller box, so creased. He then said he'd iron them. I told him not to do that. I wonder if the pennant he has for the New York team is Titans or Jets?

Will be interesting to see what you get. You CAN iron them but they are likely to be synthetic (not actual wool/felt), so go with a low heat and cover the pennants with a towel.

Maybe I have a lousy iron or something but I’ve done it with mid and even high heat directly to surface, although always just the back and yes the older ones, not 1970s stiffies. Never any issues. Cloth pennants with creases that are 50+ years old seem to require it. Can’t touch the paint of course.

Agree. Me, too. The “low heat with towel” was just to protect myself from any personal liability.
