  The pennant to the left I believe to be circa late 1940s to Early 1950 this Brownie pennant featuring, the MEAN Brownie, was used mostly during the late 1940s when the Browns 1st started playing in the old All-American Football Conference-in fact is on the cover of the Browns 1948 home game programs.  The team also used it as well as other Brownie emblems in the NFL in the 1950s-there is NO NFL emblem on the pennant-the NFL emblem 1st appeared on NFL items sold at the Stadium and stores around about 1962/63

  The pennant to the right I believe to be circa early 1960s features the Elf wearing a crown representing the Browns NFL Championship.  Believe this pennant had to be available before Art Modell purchased the team in 1963, as Modell hate the Brownie Elf and phase it out of use.
