How much would an Antique Maritime flag cost?
It is an old U.S. flag with thirteen stripes and thirteen stars circling an Anchor.
I’ve gotta ask you.
Are you SURE it’s REAL?
That thing would be almost 300 yrs old.
Ever been to a museum or to the Smithsonian, where they DO have historical flags?
The Smithsonian has the Star Spangled Banner.
The cloth on it is so fragile you cannot touch it with your bare hands.
They been trying to repair that thing for years.
An almost 300 yr old piece of cloth would be extremely fragile.
A maritime flag would be in ever worse shape because it flew in the elements and extremely heavy winds.
Brand new flags flown on a boat ravel over the summer … let alone a couple of hundred years.
If it was REAL, it would be a MUSEUM PIECE piece from just after the American Revolution and one could hardly put a monetary value on it.
HOWEVER……
What I believe you have is what is called a “Yacht Ensign”.
Check and see if this is it;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensign_of_the_United_States#Yacht_ensign
It was created in 1848 as a signal flag to be used by U.S. yachts.
It was used as a signal flag by a yacht to declare itself exempt from customs duties.
The existence of the Yacht Ensign in United States law (46 U.S.C. section 109) was repealed by the Vessel Documentation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96–594).
The old yacht ensign is still widely used by boaters, it is a legal option for undocumented vessels in United States waters, which are not required to wear an ensign.
It’s probably no older than 1980 ….. remember, when flown, flags get AGED very, very quickly, in a matter of months.
Here is a whole page of ANTIQUE YACHT ENSIGNS for sell, prices ranging from $10.00 to $100.00.
