Default Earliest Yankees pennant?

I noticed there are quite a few pennant collectors here, which is awesome because I've always loved them myself.

I've always been curious about this but have never been able to find a definitive answer: What is the earliest Yankees pennant known to exist?

The earliest I've been able to find through research is a 1921 pennant, and it sold for several thousand dollars because according to the auction description there are only a handful left known to exist. I was just curious if this is the earliest pennant ever made for the Yankees, or if there were some made even earlier than 1921?

Thanks in advance.

Below is a 1913 Yankees Pennant with Frank Chance as Manager (top-left).

This timing coincides with the name change from Highlanders to Yankees. So I believe this to be among the first-ever Yankees Pennants.... if not the first.

Hope this is helpful!

Yes- difficult! I have seen one other (fairly recently) but condition was really rough. Collecting these takes a lot of patience, but that what makes them great. If these were more prevalent, they wouldn't be as special.

Mark, upon Googling this pennant I came across what appears to be a variation of the one you have that sold recently through Heritage:

Agree with Jerry...

That vertical example is among the best pennants ever. Same timing as my horizontal version, but with even better and more detailed graphics.

Phenomenal!
