'Cuz you don't buy old trunks.
Is that an early St Andrews Cross?

I came across one of the oldest know starcraft boats in about the same manner. It was given to me and the guy didn't know who the maker was.

If we lose this war it will be burned. That's what we're fighting for. And what the NY Times is fighting against.

I bought an old trunk once. Had an old car attached to it. ;-)

"This never happens to me ... why ???" Because you would have used that old rag to check the oil in your car.

the North American Vexillological Association, a group of flag experts. I learn new stuff on FR every day.
Doubt I'll be able to insert the bolded word into any conversations, but it's nice to know.

From the article -
Earlier this month Sotheby's in Manhattan sold four Revolutionary War regimental flags captured from Continental troops and taken to England by a British officer for $17.3 million, setting a price record for flags.
So last week Martucci upped his estimate. "I would probably say right now it would sell for between $1 and $2 million, and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually went for more," he said.
The financial value is academic for Laube, who has no plans to sell the flag he has conserved and framed and now stores in a vault.
"When I was a kid, I was always into history," he said. "We studied about Bunker Hill in seventh grade and we saw the pine tree flag. And to this day, when I look at it, it's exhilarating."
