GUEST: In 1917, Woodrow Wilson asked for a standardized version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” since there were so many different ones. And the Department of Education appointed five men to standardize it: Mr. Damrosch, Mr. Earhart, Gantvoort, Sonneck, and Sousa.

APPRAISER: John Philip Sousa.

GUEST: John Philip Sousa. They each wrote what they felt that particular measure should be. They went back and voted as to which they felt should be the final version. And the way I got it was that my father was taking music theory classes with Dr. Gantvoort.

APPRAISER: Gantvoort.

GUEST: Dr. Gantvoort gave this copy to my father as a gift.

APPRAISER: It's hard to determine whether each of them had gotten a manuscript or not. We may never know. We could put an auction estimate in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.

GUEST: Wonderful.
