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.
