You haven't really provided much information, but there is a silk I am picturing that's not too scarce and not too valuable. It shows up with some frequency. |

If it is the Brooklyn Excelsior one that shows up from time to time, it is probably worth about $1,000 to $1,500 in nice condition. |

Is it believed to be authentic, and are many known? |

There can't be too many of them out there. Baseball silks are generally rare/scarce items as is. |

I have seen it several times over the years offered by major auction houses. Not sure how many there are. Could be only one or two and it just keeps getting recycled through the major auction houses. I have also seen other examples for early east coast teams. |

I know of one owned by a poster on this board and have seen a few others. Pat's price range is good in my oppinion. These are all valuable, but condition is a significant factor. |

I've seen the Excelsior ribbon many times over the years, nowhere on it does it say "Brooklyn" and there were many teams that used that name; and the Brooklyn team was only famous for a few years in the early 1860's. That ribbon looks far more recent than that, and in my opinion overpriced in the $1000-1500 range. It just has too many question marks regarding exactly what it is and when it was made. |
