Centennial Celebration "1776-1876" American Flag Banner
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is a rare Centennial patriotic flag banner, dating to 1876. The flag’s brilliant blue canton is spectacular, with 81 five-pointed, rayed stars, arranged to read “1776” and “1876.” The flag’s design is completed with thirteen alternating red and white stripes. The flag is a three-piece, treadle-sewn sewn construction, printed on a thin wool and cotton blend. Along the edge, there is a narrow, treadle-sewn sleeve made of cotton tape.
In the lead up to the nation’s Centennial in 1876, flag makers and individuals looked to the past for designs to produce as part of the country’s many celebrations. Popular interpretation of the stars and stripes undoubtedly reached its climax of variety and originality at the time of our Nation’s first Centennial. Since no design restrictions were placed on flagmaker’s imaginations and no strict distinctions were drawn between official and unofficial star counts, it is no surprise that, on the occasion of the Centennial, creativity in flag design was not the exception, but the rule.
The cantons from this period presented an array of geometric abstractions. Great star patterns, referred to as the “starry flower of Liberty” by Oliver Wendell Holmes, that were popular from 1818 and on, resurfaced in Centennial flags...

UNION JACK, MADE BY J.J. TURNER & SONS, PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, CANADA, ca 1890-WWI (1914-18):
British Union Jack in a design typical for nautical use, with attractive, elongated features. Made sometime between approximately 1890 and WWI (British involvement 1914-1918), the body of the flag is made of wool bunting that has been pieced and sewn by machine. The triangular, red gussets at the top and bottom of the hoist (additional fabric added for support) are both original and unusual. There is a heavy canvas sleeve along the hoist, through which a rope was inserted. In the center of the sleeve there is an embroidered tag that reads: J.J. Turner & Sons; Manufacturers; Peterborough, Ont. [Ontario] The following information is taken from the archives of the Peterborough Museum: “The J.J. Turner Company was established about 1870 in Port Hope, Ontario. It re-located to Peterborough in 1887. In 1914 the company was described as the largest maker of tents, sails and awnings in Canada. In 1908 it employed 68 workers in a 20,000 square foot factory in downtown Peterborough. It was at one time, among Peterborough's ten largest employers. The factory contained a blacksmiths shop, carpentry shop and other large scale workshops. J.J. Turner also had a nation-wide marketing and distribution network”. In a 1920 catalogue, Turner listed itself as a maker of “sails, tents, awnings, flags, and camp equipment. In a 1932 catalogue, J.J. Turner & Sons listed itself as a maker of “canvas tents...
