Antique US Flag Assessment Guidelines

I receive dozens of inquiries every week about assessing antique American Flags. Please read these pages over carefully; you may be able to assess your flag yourself. If you wish a professional written assessment or appraisal, please link to the Antique Flag Assessment Service page.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL or EMAIL ME ASKING FOR THE VALUE OF YOUR FLAG.

Value is a factor of design, age, scarcity, size, condition, quality, provenance, and known market activity. All of these factors must be analyzed before any value determination can be attempted. If you seek a value, read the Antique Flag Assessment and Appraisal Service page. Thank you.

ALSO, I DO NOT SELL ANTIQUE FLAGS.

Contact dealers such as Jeff Bridgman American Antiques. Please tell them I sent you.
