19TH CENTURY 13 STAR AMERICAN FLAG.

19TH CENTURY 13 STAR AMERICAN FLAG. This wool bunting flag with cut-through stars has old tag that reads “This flag belonged to John Robinson, the father of my father, Peleg Srague Robinson. The flag with 13 stars was used during the revolution 1775.” This handmade measures about 100″ x 60″ and, regardless of the tag, in our opinion is more than likely early to mid 19th century. The heavy 2″ hoist is made as a sleeve. The bunting is very fine and thin, typical of early to mid 19th century. CONDITION: Flag exhibits numerous tears and reductions, some old stitching to allow flag continued use. Colors are good, as can be seen in photograph. 4-35230 JS25 (1,500-3,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2008

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.
