Native Americans Beware Foreign Influence flag
This Native American flag from 1844 has the words, “Native. Americans. Beware of Foreign. Influence” inscribed on it. The campaign flag is printed in black, blue and red and measures at 29” x 52” which includes the hoist/sleeve. The upper left hand corner depicts an eagle with shield, sunburst, flags and a ballot box with the same phrase. The Native American Party, commonly known as the Know Nothing movement, was a far-right nativist political party that was hostile to immigration. Followers of the movement were to reply “I know nothing” when asked about its specifics by outsiders, thus providing the group with its common name. We at Nate D.

The following are some historical items we sold at Nate D. Sanders Auctions:
The Scarcest of 19th Century Campaign Banners Hand-Colored by Currier and Ives — The John Bell and Edward Everett Jugate Banner Broadside for the 1860 Presidential Election
Scarce campaign broadside for John Bell and Edward Everett, the candidates for the Constitutional Union party in the 1860 Presidential campaign. Lithograph is the scarcest of 19th century Currier and Ives broadsides, hand-colored by the storied print makers, and with full margins not usually found on this broadside. Strong unionists who believed that slavery was protected by the U.S. Constitution, the candidacy of Bell and Everett split the southern vote, effectively giving the election to Abraham Lincoln. Their campaign banner reads at top, “Liberty and Union Now and Forever One and Inseparable / No North, No South, No East, No West, Nothing But the Union”. With Currier and Ives copyright in 1860 at bottom, which also reads, “Grand National Union Banner for 1860 / The Candidates and Their Platform”. The candidates’ names of John Bell, of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts are also featured in the banner. Broadside is hand-colored by Currier and Ives, with unfaded rich, dark colors. Lithograph measures 13.5″ x 18″, with original borders. Expert restoration including rice paper backing, though no restoration to the coloring except to a small spot of scuffing just below the tassels between the red velvet curtains. Some foxing to margins. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $12,600.
1860 Campaign Portrait Flag Banner for Stephen Douglas — One of Less Than 10 Known Examples
Important remembrance from the most consequential Presidential election in U.S. history, the 1860 contest pitting Democrat Stephen Douglas against Republican Abraham Lincoln. This portrait flag banner, the most collectible banner, features Douglas at top left, center in the star portion of the flag with “FOR PRESIDENT, / STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, / VICE PRESIDENT, / HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON” printed upon the stripe portion of the flag. Banner measures 13″ x 8″. Small amount of creasing at lower right, otherwise near fine condition. An excellent example of this banner, one of less than ten known to still exist. Sold for $9,975.
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.
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.

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.
