A real treasure, these were only given out to Yankee players and a select few, they hardly ever come to market, it may well be that hardly any even exist.

This elegant design offers the classic Yankee top hat with six jewel stones encrusted just above. 10k LGB is engraved on the back, the condition looks to be quite clean overall. This is a special item that will be revered by the winning bidder. Please note 1949 was a special year for the Yankees: they made it to the World Series by breaking the hearts of a generation of Red Sox fans by beating them in a playoff game and went on to defeat a mighty Brooklyn Dodger team in the World Series, the first of their unique feat in baseball history of compiling five straight World Series titles.
