Gadsden Live Rattlesnake Flag – Tea Party – Yellow Field – 2X3 Standard

Gadsden Live Rattlesnake Yellow Flag – Don’t Tread on Me – Polyester – 2×3 foot

First flown aboard one of the first ships in the United States Navy, the Alfred, on January 4th, 1776 making it the oldest recorded flag of the United States.

It is called the “Gadsden Flag” after the designer, Colonel Christopher Gadsden who presented it to the Commodore of the new U.S. Navy, Esek Hopkins. Thus the flag is also sometimes called the “Hopkins Flag”.  This cool looking variation has the snake in a more “live” looking Rattlesnake instead of the traditional black snake.

Note: Consider the all-weather nylon version as an upgraded quality alternative for continuous outdoor use.
