Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Gadsden Desk Flag – Colonial Era Historical Miniature Flag (4″x6″)

A Bold Symbol of Colonial Defiance and American Unity

The Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Gadsden Desk Flag celebrates one of the most enduring emblems of the American Revolution. First flown in 1775, the striking yellow flag with a coiled rattlesnake and the words “Don’t Tread on Me” expressed the colonies’ defiant spirit and their warning against oppression. Today, this miniature reproduction continues to symbolize freedom, vigilance, and American resolve.

Historic Origins of the Gadsden Flag

Named after Colonel Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina, the flag was originally presented to the first commander of the U.S. Navy, Esek Hopkins, during the early days of the Revolutionary War. It quickly became the standard of the Continental Marines and a rallying symbol across the colonies. Its bold design captured the growing unity among the states as they moved toward independence from British rule.
