An extraordinary piece of Americana, this mid-1800s political bunting was discovered in Springfield Illinois about 30 years ago and has been carefully preserved ever since.
It features a dramatic central eagle, wings outstretched, grasping both arrows and an olive branch, with radiant sunbursts and soft clouds surrounding the image. Behind the eagle are 21–23 stars, suggesting possible connections to Illinois or Indiana.
The bunting remains in beautiful original condition—no repairs, no alterations—making it an exceptionally rare survival of its kind. A true conversation piece for collectors of historic textiles or early American political memorabilia.
Comes with two flag poles.
