FLAG FROM ADMIRAL FARRAGUT’S SHIP AT FORT MOULTRIE, SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1861.

FLAG FROM ADMIRAL FARRAGUT’S SHIP AT FORT MOULTRIE, SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1861. This once large silk flag is now in pieces in an 18” x 12” shadowbox that is 4” deep. Flag and fringe almost completely fill this box. As can be seen in photographs, this would be quite a restoration project; however, the flag, as is, displays quite nicely with a wonderful, old GAR tag dated 1932. Tag reads, “This flag was on Admiral Farragut’s ship at Fort Moultrie, SC at the beginning of the Civil War. Presented to Dyer’s Post, January 31, 1891, by Col. Peirson of Painesville, Ohio”. There is some biographical material on Col. Peirson and his wife included with this lot, which indicates that he enlisted in 1862 as a Private and was mustered into I Co, NJ, 26 Inf. He was promoted to a Srgt. Maj. on 9.18.1862, then to a 1st Lt on 1.16.1863, then as a Capt. on 3.8.1863 and finally as a Maj. on 6.30. 1865. What a chance to own a piece of Naval history from the single most famous American Civil War Naval commander! CONDITION: Colors are bright. 8-87564 (750-1,250)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
