Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice World War Two Era 48 Star American Flag, in a large displayable 53 ½ x 90” size. 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 heavy canvas header bearing sturdy metal grommets on the ends. The stars are printed onto both sides of the blue canton.
The flag has a great service-worn look with great color retention. This example would look fantastic in a frame!
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.
