Default question about old pennants

Hi,

I came across this forum and was intrigued about prior discussions about old vintage baseball pennants. I collect them myself, to the extent that I have run out of room to display them. Mainly what I am looking for now are the extra large pennats from pre-1920, I have a few already and would like to add some others. I have some questions about the pennant companies ... I notice various styles and, of course, two of them stamp their name on the pennants (Keezer, whose pennants look kinda neat, and Ad Flag which are hideous looking). I am curious to know which companies made the stadium pennants from the 50s and 60s, the picture pennants, the scroll pennants from the 40s-60s, etc. So I'll be raising some questions like this as I become accustomed to the forum.

My first question today pertains to one of my plainest looking pennants, albeit a rare one. It's a 1924 Washington pennant, normal size, dated 1924 with CHAMPIONS on it, with a huge baseball. It looks a lot like a 1925 Pirates pennant (which I have seen before). Have any of you seen a '24 Senators pennant before - either this one or others? This being the only year they won the WS, I am curious to know its value, if in fact it has been sold in an auction or something.

Thanks,

Greg
