The actual story is that this was one of those pennants that hung at the celebratory banquet that I think Hank mentioned. I have a blurry pic from that banquet but would love to have a clearer copy.

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

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!
