I took a picture of an interesting 13 star flag at the Bank of America in downtown Nashville, TN.  I remember when it was first displayed, but don't remember the history behind it.  Has anyone seen this version before?

Google says it was adopted at the Second Continental Congress in 1777. If that's an original, they have quite the keepsake.

Neat!  It certainly looks old.

"The First Flag Resolution 1777

        On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed a resolution adopting an official flag for the Colonial forces. Unfortunately, it contained no drawings or illustrations of what the flag should look like, just these words.

        "Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."

        This led to a wide interpretation by those sewing flags; although hundreds of flags were made, no two were exactly alike."
