That is a beauty! Any chance that P could be an R? if so, maybe the NY Reproduction Co.

Nope. It's a P with a period. I have the same pennant, and it's clearly a P.

I would agree with Chris, that it likely stands for New York Pennant Co.

More of their work...

Some nice info in the text/description here. It says N.Y.P.Co. made pennants from the early 1920s through the 1950s...

They were apparently big into City Souvenir Pennants...

Another Cincinnati variation...

And finally, this link has some info. If you scroll towards the bottom, the second offering under "past items" states that NYP Co. made pennants as early as 1927...

In summary, I would definitely say that this company primarily made travel pennants. Their artwork was stellar and second-to-none. It has a very detailed, distinctive and ornate appearance. Very cool to find a sports-themed Reds pennant from this maker of travel pennants!

I have same pennant, in maroon. Seems to me I’ve seen other baseball pennants with similar fancy ... what do you call it, serifs? .... around the perimeter of the graphic. Maybe a Jackie pennant? Senators?

The number of sites Mark cites is scary. Talk about no stone unturned!

There is a Senators pennant--or it might be Nationals--with some stuff like that around the Capitol building (from when you could just stroll right in and do your business!)

Mark, I totally agree: New York Pennant Co. made some really cool pennants. Their artwork was incredibly detailed; and, they used like 3-4 colors on every image.

I wonder why they made a Reds pennant; but nothing (to my knowledge) for the hometown Yankees, Dodgers, or Giants?

How close is is N.Y.P. Co.'s image of Crosley Field to Trench's, as seen on the latter's 1950s-era stadium pennants? The artwork sure looks similar.

I’m pretty sure that there is a 1940 World Series pennant from same company with same graphic.

Oh man... If I was selling those two, I would be thrilled to realize half of those prices.
