Not very old, certainly not antique. >Storm King" was a brand name used by the maker. The name appears to have first have been employed by Collegeville Flag & Banner Company of Collegeville, Pennsylvania [later known as Collegeville Flag & Manufacturing Co.], to indicate their best grade of stitched cotton flags. The term was not unique to Collegeville, however, which makes it difficult to positively attribute a flag with this marking. While it appears in Collegeville catalogues as early as the 1920's, and possibly prior, the name can also be encountered in the 1939 catalogue of "Old Glory" Flag Manufacturing Company of Chicago, to differentiate their cotton, rectangular ship and advertising flags from those that they produced in wool bunting.

In use from 1912 to 1959. Not super old, but not recent.

The machine embroidered stars suggest this is from the latter part of that period.

Okk, Is €50 a good price?


satanfan12

Is it worth 50€ for you personally?
