*This item is too big to fit into a box that UPS, or FedEx will ship. So, we must use a white glove shipper. They come to our shop & pick it up, wrap it carefully in blankets and deliver it to you. This is a special service.
Very rare hand sewn 1860's time period signal flag. Swallowtail Pennant. Probably was used on a riverboat or steamship. Very rare. Large 62 x 34 x 2. Made of wool with canvas hoist with 2 brass grommets. Beautiful flag with lots of character. Framed in our own frame shop with all wood shadow box frame and acrylic not glass. Quite a showpiece. Rare, rare. Too big for me to ship so I have to use Chairish shipping....but the price is such a bargain paying the shipping its still a great deal Not a reproduction its real,,,,The last pic is a photo of a rare flag which is almost identical to this one that sold at auction for $80,000.00. Same time period
