Bob Hudson Posted November 8, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 8, 2018 This is a 48 star US Navy flag, size "ensign no 6" made by Valley Forge. It is just under 9x17 feet - I think you'd want six to eight people to fold it properly. I once saw a chart showing the ensign numbers and which type of ships used each size, but I can't find the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 8, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 8, 2018 That's like what we'd fly as a holiday ensign at the Naval Academy. A big flag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted November 8, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 8, 2018 Awesome Flag! I am collecting them by size, they start at a No. 12 as the smallest for PT boats, and go down to a No.1 at the largest for the Battleships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratasfan Posted November 8, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 8, 2018 WOW! I've never seen a flag that big! To think of the Battleship size! Imagine having to fold them into a flag case . . . you'd have to have a custom flag case! So, what are you doing with your fab No. 6 flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
