ONE OF ONLY THREE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS THIS TEXAS LONE STAR FLAG PATRIOTIC DESIGN.
We record only three examples of this Texas Lone Star Flag Patriotic design. The other were offered in the Kilbourne sales of patriotics dated December 12, 1860 and February 7, 1861. These were always presumed to be printed after the February 1, 1861 vote to pass the Texas Ordinance of Secession. But the November and December dates move the publication of this pro-secession stationery ahead of South Carolina's secession proclamation.
