Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a service used World War Two Era 48 Star American Flag, in a large but displayable 42" x 69". The flag body is of multi-piece wool construction, with the stars separate pieces sewn on, with a sturdy 2 inch canvas bunting header. It has rope seen into the hoist for flying the flag.
The flag does show wear, and definitely had a long service life. There are some stains, fading, small and minor nips. It has the usual age toning, so the white is now somewhat beige. A very nice example, ready to become the backdrop for your WWII display!
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 wool, with sewn on white stars. Condition is very good, with the expected age toning and wear from service, as shown.
