This large flag is made of Nylanin, a 75% nylon/25% wool fabric patented by the Annin Flag Company of Verona, NJ in 1947. Measuring 5' w x 8' long, this quality flag has 50 hand-sown stars, so it dates to after 1959. Each of the 13 stripes are sewn together, too. Has grommets for hanging. In Good condition with some small stains from normal use and a couple of small holes (see photos.) Priced accordingly.
From Annin Flagmakers: An Illustrated History - "After the war Annin co-developed Nylanin, a textile that was 75 percent nylon and 25 percent wool. It quickly became the only flag material used by the U.S. Army, and was the first of many fabric breakthroughs that would distinguish Annin from its competitors. With its high tensile strength and open porous weave, Nylanin proved ideal for the flag that would become the world’s largest free-flying flag—a 500-pound, 90-by-60-foot old Glory first flown on the New Jersey side of the George Washington bridge in 1947."
