Bennington Flag Enamel Lapel Pin | 1776 Revolutionary War Spirit of 76 Pin

The Flag That Flew at Bennington. The Number That Changed Everything.

The Bennington Flag Lapel Pin reproduces one of the most distinctive flags of the American Revolution — the flag associated with the Battle of Bennington in 1777, where American forces handed the British one of their most decisive early defeats. The design features thirteen red and white stripes with a deep navy canton bearing eleven stars in an arc, two corner stars, and the bold number "76" at center — a direct declaration of the year that started it all.

Finished in gold-tone metal with rich red, cream, and navy hard enamel, this rectangular pin is a faithful, wearable piece of American history.
