1920 Yankees Pennant ; what is it worth??

packs · #1 08-23-2011, 01:12 PM

I wouldn't think so. Probably just one generic NYC pennant. The other boroughs weren't very developed in 1920. Robert Moses hadn't built the subway system yet.

So what do you guys think on value. Only knowing the hobby and peripheral things, what do ya'll think....$200-$500?

It's not baseball related so the value is pretty minimal IMO..$50 or less.

Woops. I missed the part about it probably not being baseball related. Your guess would then sound about right, Dan.

Assuming it is a generic pennant for the City of New York and not affiliated with Baseball in any way, $50-$100.

The IRT subway opened in 1904.
Robert Moses had nothing to do with the subway.
(And if I were you, I wouldn't be tellin' Brooklynites that their borough (formally an independent city) wasn't "very developed" in 1920.)

Nice decorative NY City souvenir pennant 40-60 range.

My apologies. Robert Moses didn't build the subways but he made it possible for people to travel in and around NYC like never before.

My comment wasn't directed at Brooklyn but you are free to take offense to whatever you would like to.

I'm from the Bronx. I couldn't care less about Brooklyn. But it's one of the "other boroughs."
Robert Moses made it possible for people with cars--and only people with cars--to travel around New York. That's why he built Parkways--no trucks or buses allowed. And he made sure that no NYC scum would be able to take buses out to the LI beaches by making the Parkway overpasses too low for a bus to get under. Robert's motto? "If you don't own a car, well then, screw you."

I'm not saying Moses was an angel but he was a forward thinking man. During the WPA projects he was one of a few city planners to fit African Americans into his plans.

Yep, that forward thinking helped us get the Dodgers out here in California.
