For that matter, the Cubs, Braves, Red Sox, Reds, or Phillies.

My Washington version is the only one I've ever seen in many years of collecting and dealing in Washington memorabilia, so the rarity of these is clearly off the charts. Makes me wonder why? And why the two Brooklyn colors? I'm thinking they didn't include a nickname and use smaller print for mine, as they did with Brooklyn, because they didn't know whether to call them the Senators or Nationals, which were used interchangeably back then. I'd peg the vintage as 1930s, going by size and graphics, what's your guess? I assume Muchinsky didn't have them.
