New Orleans' Jordan Noble-- Part 5: About the Drum and Flag

This drum at auction is believed to have been displayed at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.  After that, it was at the Louisiana State Museum since 1909.  Neal Auction Company acquired the drum more than a year ago and puts an estimated $200,000 to $250,000 estimated price on it.

Also up for bid is a blue silk flag presented to General Andrew Jackson to celebrate his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.  It is mounted and has a description of Jordan Noble's military service.  At some point in the past it was given to Noble by Jackson.  Cusahs acquired it from Noble's wife.  It is also valued at between $200,000 and $250,000.
