Presidential Flag From the Truman Administration Used for Presidential Parades in 1948 — Grand Cloth Flag in Full Color Measures 75” x 59”
Large Presidential flag from 1948, used by President Harry Truman as he campaigned for re-election and marched in dozens of parades that summer. Used during one of these parades in Michigan, flag has print to hem along right edge, ”President Flag Parade MI 48”. Cloth flag in navy blue features the seal of the President of the United States, made entirely of integral cloth panels in six different colors with decorative stitching. Grommets are built in. Measures a large 75” x 59”. A few small holes, the largest measuring under 2”, else near fine. Sold for $12,500.
Large 13-Star U.S. naval flag for the Brig Rival, likely an English merchant ship captured during the Civil War by the U.S. Navy. In 1850 the U.S. Navy adopted the 13-star flag for use on their smaller boats, and then added a number system in 1863 to designate boat size; this flag doesn’t have an additional number, dating it to sometime between 1850-1863. Although U.S. naval records don’t show the existence of a ”Rival” ship, an English merchant ship named Rival was in operation in the mid-19th century transporting goods from the Americas to England. Many of these English merchant vessels ran goods to the South during the war, and it’s likely that Rival was one of the 350 plus blockade runners captured by the U.S. Navy, and subsequently put to use during the Civil War. Large mainmast-sized wool flag measures 5′ 1” x 11′ 6”, with the 13 linen stars hand sewn in a 4-5-4 horizontal pattern. Two holes are sewn at the top and bottom of hoist, upon which ”BRIG RIVAL” is written in ink. A 19th century metal tag reading ”3154.L” also appears. Flag shows considerable wear from use on the high seas, and likely from military action with part of the fly portion missing and numerous holes throughout. Originally owned by the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco. Sold for $10,000.
Large 40-star United States flag, denoting entry of the Dakotas into the Union. As North and South Dakota were added on the same day of 2 November 1889, the U.S. flag immediately jumped from 38 to 40 stars. The 40 star flag, however, was only in effect for six days, as Montana was added on 8 November. Large sewn flag measures 9’7” x 5’10” with the stars measuring approximately 5” each. Body of flag is a coarse linen fabric, with the hoist made of canvas punctuated by four grommets. The canton at upper left is constructed of two 18” pieces of bunting sewn together. A few small holes throughout, and light soiling. Edge has been hemmed, likely from wind damage. Overall very good condition. A rare, sewn 19th century period flag from the Dakotas. Sold for $7,500.

United States flag featuring 34 stars, representing the addition of Kansas as the 34th state, admitted into the Union on 29 January 1861. This flag flew during the Civil War, from 1861 until June 1863, when West Virginia broke from Virginia and was declared her own state. Although several variations of the 34-star flag were made, this design — with concentric circles of stars accentuated by four corner stars — would prove one of the most popular. Linen and cotton flag is hand-stitched with stars appearing on both sides. Measures 108” x 70.5” or 9′ x nearly 6′. Some age discoloration, light soiling and small holes throughout. Larger tear of approximately 2” to lower left where flag connects to band. Overall in very good condition considering age, with no substantial defects or loss of material. A scarce Civil War era United States flag. Sold for $7,500.
Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston autograph letter signed ”J.E. Johnston”, dated 16 May 1865 from Charlotte, North Carolina, written soon after being released on parole by the Union Army. Also with three endorsements signed by Ulysses S. Grant, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and General John Schofield. Letter is addressed to General Schofield, just two weeks after Johnston surrendered his Army of Tennessee and still active rebel troops. After both parties agreed to military surrender, Johnston and Schofield negotiated supplementary terms, including his soldiers’ release, and here asks permission to travel to Canada. Reads in part: ”…As soon as the terms of ‘the convention’ are executed in Georgia & Florida, I wish to go to St. Catherine’s Springs, Canada. Will you be so kind as to inform me if I will be permitted to travel directly from Virginia to that point? Most respectfully / Your obt sevt / J.E. Johnston”. General Schofield endorses the letter on 16 May, the same day, ”Respectfully refered [sic] to Lt. Gen. Grant. J M Schofield Maj Genl.” Grant then endorses the letter on 22 May: ”I am very much in favor of granting Gen. Johnston’s request and if authorized will telegraph the authority at once. U. S. Grant Lt. Gen.” Lastly, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton seeks approval from President Johnson: ”Submitted to the President who directs that the permission asked by General Johnson [sic] be granted with the condition that he does not return to the United States without leave of the President. Edwin M Stanton Sec of War.” Letter on one page measures 8” x 6.25”, matted with a portrait of Johnston to an overall size of 12.5” x 18.25”. Light toning and folds throughout; very good to near fine. A U.S. Grant autograph is rare dated during the Civil War or directly relates to the Civil War as this one does. Sold for $12,500.
