1886 U.S. flag vs. WA territorial seal – From Our Corner (original) (raw)

We’re now on lucky Game 7 of the first round of our Archives Treasures tourney: the 38-star U.S. flag from 1886 going against the Washington territorial seal. You can choose your favorite via the online poll below. Make sure to vote by 9 a.m. Friday, because that’s when we shut down the poll.

The Game 7 winner will join these other first-round winners in the tourney quarterfinals, which start next week: 1969 Black Panther protest photos, 1971 Satsop rock festival photos, 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption documents, 1874 Seattle photos, Tenino Oregon Trail marker photo, and documents from Washington Territory’s first prison.
