Any insight on this Yankees bobble head?

[tschock]

Can anyone provide any additional information on this Yankees bobble head? Found it in a box of my junk packed away and I've had it since the '60s. Not in great shape (obviously), but in scanning ebay I haven't found an example of this style. There is a similar style, but the differences in this one is the "Yankees" on the jersey (not "NY"), his teeth are showing (whereas the others it's just a smile), and the head shape appears to be different (rounder?). It's about 4.25 to 4.5 inches tall, has an oval Japan sticker and an inset magnet about the size of a dime on the base. There is no number or name on the back. Any bobble head heads out there that can help?

Your nodder is known as a "moon face" mini. I've always liked this variety. In good shape, they're valuable ($250-600). Someone might be interested in yours, for a lot less, for restoration purposes. If you're interested in a restorer's name, shoot me a message.
