I found this amazing 13 star service banner today at a local thrift store today and I had to share. This is a WW2 era rayon banner with 13 stars in a really interesting form. The banner is stamped at the top ' "I Am An American" Victory Service Flag'. This is one of the few service flags that I have ever come across that is marked like this, hopefully I can track down a manufacturer. The single sided flag measures 44"x 52" . The stars appear to have been applied with an iron on process or an adhesive of some type, unfortunately one of them has been lost.

Awesome! I do have a very similar one that I have sourced form my book from a larger collection- But it is made of wool bunting and doesn't have the the wording on it.

I would be doing cartwheels in the street if I found that at a thrift store!

Paid a whopping $10 for it, I am estatic.
