The pictures show a front and back view of this Framed 1912 American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial Association Certificate. This is a 1912 issued certificate that is numbered and signed. At some point in time, the glass had been broken or removed. There are (5) graphic images on it. At the top is an eagle with a shield, arrows and a banner that reads ''E. Pluribus Unum''. Below that there is an image of the Liberty Bell with a sunrise behind it. In the center is a colorful image with Betsy Ross. It is marked as follows:

BIRTH OF OUR NATION'S FLAG
By Chas. H. Weisgerber
Betsy Ross
Gen'l Washington
Hon. George Ross
Robert Morris

On the left within a wreath of stars and a wreath of oak leaves there is an image of a house and a tree. Below it reads as follows:

HOUSE 239 ARCH ST. PHILADELPHIA
IN WHICH THE
FIRST AMERICAN FLAG
WAS MADE
ADOPTED BY CONGRESS
JUNE 14, 1777.

On the right side is another image also within a wreath of stars and a wreath of leaves. This image is of the gravesite of Betsy Ross with a flag flying above it. Below the image it reads:

GRAVE OF BETSY ROSS
MOUNT MORIAH CEMETARY
PHILADELPHIA
PA.

The certificate has a red seal under the wording near the bottom. It is in the form of a compass and it has a Liberty Cap and crossed leaves. It reads:

AMERICAN FLAG HOUSE AND BETSY ROSS MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

FOUNDED JUNE 14, 1898.

The document is signed by four individuals (see below). It reads as follows:
