Anyone have knowlege of old Ferrari F1 banners?

At a small shop here in the Dallas area today, I came across a thin, colorful linen banner/flag that is about 4ft x 6ft, with an illustration of a 312 T Formula 1 car, and the word "Ferrari" along the 6 ft edge and the word "Turbo" along the 4ft edge. There is a checkered flag border around at least part of the flag. It looks to be about the right age, the white is slightly dingy.

My description may be off slightly, I didn't look at it too long because I didn't want to appear *too* interested in it. I plan on going back an purchasing it next week.

The store owner claims it is a flag that hung in a Ferrari dealership in the 70's. I don't know if that's true or not. I think it might have been available for purchase at a dealership, not actually hung there, but maybe someone here can give me more info on that.

Has anyone bought or sold a similar banner recently? I am looking for guidance on negotiating a fair price. He gave me his asking price, but I want to see if it corresponds with anyone else's experience.

EDIT: It may be a 126C, not a 312T.

 

I had the guy email me a picture of the banner. Is this an authentic Ferrari product, or bootleg? Looking at it closer, I suspect bootleg.

Not the hundred bucks he wanted, for sure.

When he emailed it to me, I posted it before I really looked hard at it. I agree the consensus that it ain't "official."

To be worth buying, it would have had to be original, or have a personal significance. If this banner had the Sharknose 156, I wouldn't have cared if it was original or not, cause I'm a big Phil Hill fan.

 

Yup, no front spoiler!

 

Hey, thanks anthony. I looked and looked for a pic of an F1 car of that era without a front spoiler but didn't find one.
