“Victory” Blanket — Stars from Washington’s Headquarter’s Flag

Made in America from 100% combed, natural cotton. The design, with a perfect tracing of each individual star from George Washington’s Headquarters Flag, is woven as part of the blanket; it’s not simply printed on. And it’s woven on a Jacquard loom, which makes this even more interesting.

The original design shows George Washington’s Headquarters Flag and includes the sign/countersign used by the Continental Army the night they crossed the Delaware to attack the Hessian garrison at Trenton, along with the dates of the crossing and the attack. Washington and his troops were victorious, capturing 1,000 prisoners along with muskets, powder, and artillery. In the battle, three Americans were killed and six wounded, while 22 Hessians were killed and 98 wounded.

Comes with a hang tag that includes a historical quote, background on the event, and a historical map.
