Help with Yankee pennant
 

Can anyone tell me the era and approximate value of this New York Yankees pennant?

This one, without holding it, is hard to pin down as far as era. Anywhere between mid 1940s and early 1960s.

Good news: very rare (can’t say I’ve ever seen it before), condition is strong.

Not so good news: kinda generic and plain looking, vintage Yankees pennants strangely don’t have a strong market.

I’d say, in eBay auction this goes for $60-100. If tassels were torn off $40-80. Mark (“perezfan”) may have a better idea, he might even have it.

I do not have that one, and agree that it's rare. But as we all eventually find out, rarity does not always equate to a high price.

I agree that it's quite generic in nature. The Yankees used this same logo forever, and it's appeared on countless pennants of theirs. Yes, many have subtle differences and there are variations. But Yankee/Pennant collectors don't seem to get too excited by any of these (based upon prices realized).

As for yours, it looks like the tassels were torn off, and the tip's condition is anyone's guess. It is a tad different than most, so if the tip is okay, I'd think $50 -$70 is about right. If the tip is missing, torn or altered, then maybe $40 on a good day. In other words, Greg pretty much nailed it.

it looks nice and the blue POS.

Good Luck with it

It is a little rough….but I wouldn’t call it a POS. :eek:

That is strange how at least with pennants, the Yankees kinda fall flat. I’d expect it to be more like the Packers.
