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.
1860 Stephen Douglas President Flag Banner vs Lincoln
Stephen Arnold Douglas (April 23, 1813 – June 3, 1861) was an American politician and lawyer from Illinois. He was the Democratic Party nominee for president in the 1860 election, but he was defeated by Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln. 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.
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.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 8/29/2019Large 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.
Beautiful 39-Star Colorado Flag Measuring 9.5” x 6.25” — Taken to World War I
39-star flag, representing the state of Colorado, is a dramatic ”Great Luminary” configuration, where the 39 stars form to resemble an even larger star. Silk-blend flag is from sometime after 1 August 1876, when Colorado entered the Union, and likely from the 1880s. Accompanied by an early 20th century photo and period note stating that the flag was carried to France by J. Wilson Carione during WWI. Measures 9.5” x 6.25”. Uniform age toning and a few discreet snags, otherwise in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $2,750.
