Hope this finds an honorable home.My thoughts exactly... You never know with these anonymous buyers. I would love to have found something like this in the trunk of one of my relatives. I'm hoping it will end up in a good southern museum where it can be well preserved.

Amen to that! Original flags are an irreplacable part of our history and should be preserved for future generations.
There is a dealer named Gary Hendershott that has a lot of WBTS artifacts - his catalogs are online at: www.garyhendershott.com
Every time I see a "Sold" sign across an item, I hope that it has found a good home with someone who will take good care of it.

He said before the auction that if the flag sold for the minimum $40,000 bid, he planned to 'take her out to dinner at Burger King.'"
What an awful grudge.

ME TOO!
FAR too many origional items are in private hands, imVho.
virtually all of COL Mosby's possessions are in the collection of a woman in PA!
i wish she'd give them/loan them to the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.
