Collector’s Notes
These designs pull from early American historical flags and mottos—Gadsden, Commodore Perry’s “Don’t Give Up the Ship,” and the Fort Moultrie “Liberty” crescent—a great crossover set for history buffs and patch collectors. (These designs are commonly sold as part of “Flags of Defiance” style patch collections.)

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
