"A piece of the Star-Spangled Banner which floated over Fort McHenry during the bombardment...."

This is a piece that goes for sale for the first time.  The original flag was kept by Major George Armistead.  Small sections of it would be removed and given to various military figures.  This took away the final eight feet of the flag.
