Sweet Caporal cigarettes pinback of legendary Washington Senators
pitcher Walter Johnson. Pat. 1896.
This pitcher helped bring the Senators to their only World Series
triumph in 1924. He still holds some records for pitchers.
Great pin, would love to have one like that in my collection
My late father got to shake Walter Johnson's hand back in the 1930s, he told me,
when Walter was the manager of the Senators. Dad went to a game back then,
and stood in line to shake hands. To me it must have been a great honor.
I hope you find one for your collection.
