Antique American Flags A website dedicated to the history, restoration, preservation and collecting of antique American flags. Antique American Flag Articles THE 13 STARS AND STRIPES: The 13 Stars and Stripes was born on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Continental Congress. Unlike subsequent variations, the first US Flag has been made and used almost continuously ever since. Even today, you can purchase a brand new copy and, keeping with the tradition of the original flag, it is available in several different specifications. This fact, however, also raises issues when someone comes upon an old 13 star flag. |
