Original U.S. WWII 48 Star Flag with Brass Eyelets - 44 x 72”
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice World War Two Era 48 Star American Flag, in a nice displayable 44 x 72”. The flag body is of multi-piece construction, with each stripe a separate piece of fabric. It looks to be made of cotton or linen bunting, with a canvas header bearing 2 brass eyelets on the top and bottom. The stars are printed on, not sewn.
The flag does show some wear, with scattered small tears and pulls. There are also some areas on the edge that show fraying / wear, most likely from rubbing on a sharp edge. The flag has the usual age toning, so the white is now somewhat beige. Very nice example, ready to be properly displayed!
The general rule of thumb is that cotton flags were issued during WWII and nylon flags were issued during the Korean War. Flags made prior to WWII were made of a wool blend. This flag is made from multiple pieces of fabric, with sewn on white stars and zinc grommets. Condition is very good, with the expected age toning and wear from service, as shown.
