Can anyone tell me about these Yankee pennants? Year? Price. Any information will be appreciated.

The four complete pennants are very nice. We call them 3/4 size examples, as they are not as large as full-sized pennants. This 3/4 sizing does not necessarily detract from their desirability, as many pennants of that era were made that way.

Yours all appear to be from the late 1940s - early 1950s time frame. In terms of rarity (and excluding the "partial" pennant), these pennants would rank as follows...

3
2
1
4

I would say that #3 is exceedingly rare, and definitely a keeper (if not for yourself, then another pennant collector or Yankee collector). The other three would rank as "somewhat rare"... usually available on eBay, but not common by any means.

The 5th item was cut out from a pennant, and not worth much (if anything).
If you want to know values for the others, feel free to shoot me an email or PM.

Hope this helps!

They’re all from the 40’s to early 50’s. I agree with Mark. Value would generally be in that $100-150 retail, but sometimes plain pennants and particularly plain Yankees pennants can be a tough sell. If you listed them on EBay they would probably realize in the 50-75 maybe $100 range.

The last one is beat and not from 1960. It is earlier than that. Not worth anything.

Nice pennants.

Can anyone help me with as much info on this pennant ?? I have a Lou Gehrig looks like what I’ve found from a chewing gum company from 1936-38. Any type of help would be awesome. Price, details, real or fake? Anything and thanks in advance! New to group but love the forums!

Happy to help, but need a visual in order to do so.
