Help With Yankees Pennant

[pitchingace77]

I just picked up this Pennant for what I thought was a fair price. I have tried to find others on eBay but couldn't find any that matched the colors of this Pennant. I'm not sure how rare it could be or if it could be fake. Any help is appreciated.

It's clearly legit, nice pickup. Pennants from this time period were known to come in a variety of colors, even those which were unrelated to team. In fact there are some plain Yankees Uncle Sam pennants on green felt. It's not something you see every day, maybe once or twice a year at most on eBay. Scroll back a page or two in the "pennants" thread and you'll see a 1960 version with different logo ...

It's authentic and not easy to find. Less popular than a World Series champion year, but still popular. I would say $150 in ExMt / NRMt condition, but I see this one is heavily wrinkled and stained on the tip. I would say $75 ish for this one. Still a very nice pennant from a great team. Nice pick up.

Here is a different version. Yours is made of felt, this version is made of woven fabric which was popular during a short time frame in the 60's. Both are authentic.

Thanks a lot for all of your help and the information. I got it for $50 so I guess I did pretty good.

I think you did great. Jason is super knowledgable but I might add $25 to his $75 estimate, being that it’s Yankees.
