Original 1967 New York Yankees Mother's Day pendant (Charm Day giveaway) manufactured by L. Balfour and distributed at Yankee Stadium on May 14, 1967 (SGA stadium giveaway). This commemorative pendant has special historical significance, as it was given away on the same day Mickey Mantle became the sixth player in Major League Baseball history to hit 500 career home runs, connecting off Baltimore Orioles pitcher Stu Miller in a Yankees victory. Measures approximately 1¼ inches in diameter and weighs 9.5 grams.

A desirable piece for collectors of Yankees memorabilia, Mickey Mantle collectibles, stadium giveaways, baseball history, and vintage sports memorabilia. Condition is shown in the photographs. Age related wear on pendant.
