Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice World War Two Era 48 Star American Flag, in a nice large 54" x 90" size, about 4.5 x 7.5 feet. The flag body is of multi-piece construction, with the stars separate pieces sewn on, with a sturdy canvas header. There are no maker markings visible anymore on the header, and it has hemp rope loops at each end of the header, one of which has a metal support inside, which we believe to be zinc.
The flag does show some wear with small tears, but no mothing or other major damage. It has the usual age toning, so the white is now somewhat beige. A very nice example, ready to 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 fabric, with sewn on white stars and zinc grommets. Condition is very good, with the expected age toning and wear from service, as shown. There is some tearing and tattering at the far end of the flag. A fine example of a WWII flag.
