    What an historic find I just had! This one-of-a-kind and well used, hand made vintage late 1960s Hippie Peace Protest Flag with this extraordinary provenance he wrote for me:

    Hi Dick!

    I am turning 65 this year. I am happy to see a resurgence of interest in the 60s and 70s

    Yup, I owned this flag. Grew up in Florida, thus the boat flag... girlfriend made the flag... I displayed it at least 50 protests and demonstrations. In a few, it was hung from the taillight rod of a friend's motorcycle. Me and my buddy took it on a 5K round trip to Frisco to go to a protest in 1970-- I had just graduated from high school. Might add that someone tried to steal it while we were there... took it off the bike every night after that!

    Got arrested at several protests... one in DC, and one in Orlando...

    Thanks for honoring it with inclusion into your collection!

    It'll ship out first thing tomorrow morning.
    All the best to you!

    Bob
