Maddox acquired one American flag from bookseller and stationery firm, Blanchard & Mohun. That accounts for 4 flags; TD Regimental, Blanchard & Mohun and 2 other flags which Harry Ford found in the box. Since we are pretty sure (remember – nothing is certain) that the TD National and the TD Presentation flag were also display, these were in all likelihood the 2 flags Harry found.

Thanks, Rich, this makes sense to me as I was wondering if these were the ones he found. But I don't understand why he didn't mention the two other flags added later since he described and reasoned the box decoration at all so detailed.
