It measures 30 inches and is an original, not a reproduction. Add this unique and valuable piece to your memorabilia collection today. This is from my personal St. Louis Cardinal Collection. Below is a excerpt of a blog interview with the former President of Trench, Tom Storm. By the 1960s Trench was still making felt pennants the same way they (and others) had since the 1920s. Every step was labor intensive. Storm described the process in excruciating detail. First, you had to carry 10-15 different colors of felt on hand for the customer to choose from. The felt was an inexpensive blend of only 30% wool. Next, the designs were screen printed in one color: white. After screening the graphics, the felt was left to dry on a drying rack overnight. The next day an employee had to apply the secondary colors to the design via an airbrush. Because the paint was toxic, the air brushing room had to be walled off from others and be well ventilated. Once airbrushed, the pennants were again set out to dry. After a year's time, you could count on these secondary colors fading. Finally, the spine and tassels had to be sewn on by a seamstress. When complete, each pennant was sold to a concessionaire, distributor, or retailer for a mere $0.25/pennant.
