Historic Flag of Maine (1901–1909) Paperweight

Celebrate the heritage of the Pine Tree State with this elegant Historic Maine Flag Paperweight. This high-quality glass paperweight features the striking and minimalist design of Maine’s original state flag, which flew from 1901 to 1909. Often referred to as the "People’s Flag," the design showcases a lone green pine tree centered on a warm buff (light tan) background, anchored by a crisp blue North Star in the upper-hoist corner. The pine tree is a timeless symbol of Maine’s vast forests and storied shipbuilding history, while the North Star represents the state motto, Dirigo ("I Lead"). Crafted from high-polished glass with a smooth felt backing to protect your surfaces, this paperweight brings a touch of New England history and sophisticated charm to any office, study, or home library. It makes an exceptional gift for Mainers, vexillology enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the "vintage modern" aesthetic of this resurgent historic emblem. Author of this image is John McKean.
