Sold for: $45.00

Original period manufacture. Wool bunting flag with 48 individually machine sewn stars on the field. White cotton canvas hoist with four zinc grommets. Each flag measures roughly 33 x 48 inches.By the quality of construction I would date this flag at least to the WWII era, possibly WWI. Flown on the bow of US Navy & US Coast Guard vessels when at anchor. In addition, neither the hoists or the stars fluoresce under a UV light. Each is stenciled Union Jack, 7 on the hoist. There is some scattered mothing in the fields of the flags but nothing dreadful, still quite attractive for display. Two in stock, sold by the one.
