TUFFIES: Looking for some info on this pennant

My friend Joan is looking for information about this handsome "Toughkenamon" pennant that someone donated to the New Garden Township Historic Commission.


"I want to get it framed to hang in our history room In the NG Twp. building and would like to be able to put the information with it. I thought if you would mention it in the Tilda Tally Ho column we might have a good chance that someone will recognize it and provide its history."
Joan also posted a photo of the pennant on the "You Know You're from Kennett Square" Facebook page and some readers said it may have been for the "Tuffies" baseball team, which played in the 1940s. Another person recalled that "After the War, Toughkenamon and Kennett Square played an annual Thanksgiving Day football game. It was quite a big deal locally. I'll take a guess and suggest this: That pennant dates from the football rivalry."
Readers, does anybody have any more information? Let me know at uvilleblogger@gmail.com if you do!
