Betsy Ross - Philadelphia 1710
Drawing is of the home of Betsy Ross and the birthplace of old glory. Signed by Frederick Robbins.
My mother left this Betsy Ross piece when she passed and unfortunately I do not have any information on it's history. I do know that my mother felt it was quite valuable and kept it hidden away so it would not be damaged. I would like to get an estimate on what it might be valued at. Thanks.
