The first blue-black-white flag in Estonia that became the national flag. Made in 1884, it survived Soviet times hidden inside the foundation of a chimney.

It is literally the first one. Sewn together in 1884.
Here’s an article of the origin story, how it was hidden buried inside the foundation of a chimney for half a century during Soviet times (when the blue-black-white flag was forbidden), [you can google translate it here.](https://elu.ohtuleht.ee/157972/esimene-sinimustvalge-ommeldi-poltsamaal)
