Love of flags Posted April 20, 2019 #1 Posted April 20, 2019 Found this one and talked to the person who had it. They think it's a table cloth from the 1850s. I informed them what I believed it was and gave them reasons why I thought that's what it was and showed them examples. They think it's for the state of Minnesota coming into the union. So am I wrong?
7thEvac Posted April 20, 2019 #6 Posted April 20, 2019 Looks like a service flag from a church or school, or some other organization.
Love of flags Posted April 20, 2019 Author #8 Posted April 20, 2019 Now let's hope the price comes down, once they finish researching the item. It was a little high when they thought it was a table cloth from the 1850s.
dhcoleterracina Posted April 20, 2019 #9 Posted April 20, 2019 It's got a great look. Hope you get it.
Love of flags Posted April 22, 2019 Author #10 Posted April 22, 2019 Definitely a service flag, Great design! Mr. Jerry you think ww1 or ww2? What's a piece like this worth?
Mr.Jerry Posted April 23, 2019 #11 Posted April 23, 2019 My gut feeling is WWII, but you do see some of these types of creative star patterns on WWI as well. There is a historical society here that has a large one done in the shape of an anchor (representing Hope). As far as value I would say $200-500ish. These kind of patterns don't show up much. I wish I could have gotten this one in the book.
Love of flags Posted April 24, 2019 Author #12 Posted April 24, 2019 It would definitely be a centerpiece in my collection. Just trying to decide if I can pull off the price.
Love of flags Posted April 24, 2019 Author #14 Posted April 24, 2019 what are they asking? PM sent Mr. Jerry.
