of the humble items found
in catalogs like flag motif
dishes and door mats are
put-away possibilities. As
with most collectibles some
are downright ugly while
others are beautiful.
This interest has been
reflected in Americana
auctions and in antique
shops specializing in 18th,
19th, and early 20th cen
tury objects.
There is even a new
Price Guide, “Official Price
Guide to American Patri
otic Memorabilia” by Mi
chael Polak, a collector.
A collection can go in
many directions. Not only
can it specialize in antique
or contemporary objects,
but concentrate on art, ar
tifacts and decorative ob
jects, to mention a few. A
contemporary collection
could focus on items made
after September 11, from
anti-Bin Laden posters and
banners to glass and weav
ings. One of my favorite
discoveries was in a North
Carolina rifle shop. A
hand-painted dart board
with Bin Laden’s likeness
and red, white and blue
darts. This can be the folk
art of tomorrow.
Doubtless there will
more indivi.dually-made
symbols.
There’s nothing new
about patriotic symbols.
They’ve been around since
and before the American
Revolution. The eagle was
(and is) the most popular
liberty symbol. From the
War of 1812 until after the
Civil War, it and other pa-
