It's a very cool piece of American history and really belongs on display at the Smithsonian or other museum that can preserve it properly and display it for the public. Something like this needs to be accessible visually to appreciate it fully for the silk work, the art on it and the patriotism associated with its creation. That family will still own it, they can just lend it out to museums periodically if there's no permanent display space in a museum of their choice. I hope more families donate treasures to museums so people can see the history for themselves and maybe open some eyes and minds up.

Yeah I would have guessed it was worth more money. But here's the thing, this could have been worn at any number of celebrations not directly involving Washington and so they are valuing it based on it just being a privately made piece to commemorate the event. If she could prove one of her family members attended and could prove she got it from that branch of her family then she might be able to add a zero to the estimate In any case, it is really undervalued. I would be proud to have it in my collection of founding father items. I have a letter written to my ancestor John Adams from George Washington which is the centerpiece of my collection.

I thought they were going to say hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe millions, and that it should be in the Smithsonian. Whether Washington wore it or or not, it comes from the era, there's practically no examples like it left in existence, and it's associated with the very first president.

So she needs to tie an ancestor to the ball and that would add value to the sash as a collectible. It is unlikely she had more than one ancestor attend so she needs to do her genealogical research then she needs to get a list of people who attended the ball. Anyone on both lists is a probable owner.
