RARE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS “LONE STAR” FLAG.

RARE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS “LONE STAR” FLAG. This printed “glazed cotton” flag measures 11-1/2″ x 17″, exhibiting 11 red and white stripes and canton with one large 4-1/2″ single star. It is similar in construction and size to Centennial era and some earlier flags. It closely resembles the official 1836 Texas national and naval service flag known as “The Lone Star and Stripes”. A similar flag with 13 stripes was the official war ensign of the Republic of Texas Navy. CONDITION: Flag overall is in very good condition with some losses on upper edge of hoist at canton, about 1/2″ x 1/2″ chip at canton, as can be seen in photos. The color appears to have been applied on what we now consider to be the reverse side of flag with canton in upper right hand corner, which is typically a Civil War or earlier feature where Centennial flags are finished on opposite side. 4-46278 JS62 (3,000-5,000)

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.
