Rare Confederate states 7 star parade flag. Frame size: H 10-1/4", W 6-7/8". With over-printed advertising for F.S. Emmert. Found in Winchester, VA. Professionally framed. Excellent condition. Collection of Laura Mitler. Provenance Jeff Bridgeman. Jeff Bridgeman's label reads: 7 star American parade flag, printed on coarse, glazed cotton and affixed to its original wooden staff, made to commemorate the first wave of Confederate States that seceded from the Union on February 4th, 1861. Texas was technically the 7th of these states, which also included, in order, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. "F.S. Emmert" is overprinted upside-down (by accident) across the stripes in black ink. This flag was found in Winchester, VA, and though my research did not turn up anything related to this name, in all likelihood the text relates to an area merchant. Parade flags with store-related advertising are extremely rare and interesting to advanced flag collectors. While the flag is small and the text isn't elaborate, the presence of the lettering is highly unusual, especially on a 7-star parade flag. I know of no other 7-star varieties with any manner of overprint. Please refer to link for high res photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bkigcdwr0sz5luj/AABrEZmy10PM74UEP8zhQhj8a?dl=0
