There’s a 1925 Pirates pennant that resembles this, clearly the same manufacturer, but with a batter graphic inside the baseball, identity unknown …

The photo of the WaJo pennants is in the Washington 1925 World Series program, showing the banquet for winning the 1924 A.L. pennant a year earlier with several of these on the walls. Since I've never seen a 1924 World Series crowd shot with one of these pennants, I'm guessing they were only made for that banquet, thereby accounting for their rarity, although I guess any pennant surviving from that era is almost by definition rare.

Found my pic. It looks like these were the “plain baseball” versions, i.e. without the WJ graphic. Looks like the laces on the ball run horizontal. Hard to tell for certain. Wish I had a more detailed photo.

Also... Are we sure it's from the same manufacturer? The font is different, the laces are different, and the laces run horizontal, rather than vertical. Just curious how you are sure these come from the same maker.

Thanks!

Great '24 Washington Pennant, Greg! Is it oversize, full-size, or 3/4 size? I've seen that '25 Pirates Pennant in the past, and (from memory) I believed it was 3/4 size.

Thanks to Marc and Rob for making this one available to me. It's my first Reproduction Co pennant.

My next step is to get this in a frame.
