Early American Flag and Nowadays American flag

Most people may surprisied about early American flags. In fact, most Americana flags manufacturer know as little about them and sometimes even less than the average person on the street. It’s downright peculiar when you think about it, and the situation continues to puzzled me. What item can you honestly say is more American than the American flag? Save possibly an original draft of our Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, there is no unique that so encapsulates our nation’s heritage and the word “Americana.”

Now, I am a dealer in nowadays flags, so I have many experience not noly om early American flags,but I also do better in nowadays American flags.

A couple years ago, a rare little Connecticut needlework brought $203,750 at a Sotheby’s auction. The maker of the needlework was unknown. The piece had strong graphics, including an urn of flowers, a row of trees, and a house, but most people wouldn’t have recognized the needlework’s rarity or understood the very high selling price. That same auction included one of the most important pieces of Americana ever to come up for sale. It was the very first American National Flag to be manufactured of 100% American-made wool bunting. This means that it was, at least on record, the first entirely American-made American flag. In that time,We know the price is so high,although it is low of today,but you know the money is not the days money.

Historically, blue bunting for flags was imported from England. On March 2, 1865, however, Congress passed a law mandating that all American flags manufactured for the federal government from that point forward had to be made of American-manufactured materials. Documentation accompanying this particular flag substantiated that it was the first flag to meet these requirements. The flag was manufactured at a firm owned by well-known Union General Benjamin Butler. Butler presented this flag to President Lincoln for his approval just three days before his assassination.

Fifty-eight thousand dollars. How may mass-produced, art deco-period vinyl and chrome marshmallow sofas will that buy you? Two. How many 19th century game boards will that buy you with American flags painted on them? Maybe three, maybe one. How many 1920s vases will that amount buy you at a high-end arts and crafts auction? Depending upon which one you want, quite possibly none. And how many paintings have you seen of questionable beauty bring more than $58,000? I have seen more than I could easily count.
