CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG.

Confederate 13 Star First National Flag carried home by a Bath Maine solder. 32x16.5” all silk w/ dbl. applique bullion fringed 1.5” stars. This flag originated w/ Bedford & Janet Hayes long time Maine antique dealers over 30 years ago. Unfortunately its history is lost; all we know is that it was bought from Bath Maine estate. The flag has a sm. 2” albumin photograph of unknown gentleman pasted to canton resembling an older Jefferson Davis but most likely associated w/ the capturer of this well-made Confederate flag. 1” leading edge has five hand whipped eyelets, 1 retains bullion thread tie. CONDITION: Rev bars have faded w/ no color remaining. The middle white bar is shattered but 90% complete as framed. Canton has good blue color. Flag overall is fair soiled & stained but presents beautifully in its 44x31”custom frame. (02-16669/JS.) $8,000-12,000.
