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.
