Historic 50-star American flag flown over the United States Capitol on January 20, 1973, the date of Richard Nixon's second inauguration as president. The 100% cotton flag, manufactured by the Dettra Flag Company under the 'Bull Dog Bunting' brand name, measures 5' x 3', and is housed in its original box. Includes the original transmittal letter signed by Architect of the Capitol George M. White, to Congressman Thomas F. Railsback, in full: "My dear Congressman Railsback: This is to certify that the accompanying flag was flown over the United States Capitol on Inauguration Day, January 20, 1973." Flag is in fine condition; box is very good, with splits to corners. In very fine condition. Nixon's second term would end unceremoniously with his resignation on August 9, 1974, following the Watergate scandal.
