By the way the cord appears to be silver and black.  I assume for Warrant Officer.  

I need to check his online site again. It's been a while

As Mario mentioned 1733 belonged to Bieg, Frederick C., Commander, USN, died October 14, 1909.   He is listed in the Taps section of a reprint of: Historical sketch, constitution, and register of the Military order of the Carabao together with songs that have been sung at "wallows" in various places.    The book lists 1,800+ numbers in alphabetical order.   Bill

Definitely broke the mold after Hayes. He also doesn’t like it when someone ask how much something worth.😉🇺🇸

He's got a crazy collection and an awesome guy. Bought plenty from his catalog over the years. FYI to Hayes newcomers...don't mention politics on the phone if you don't want an earful🤣. He definitely will have a thought or two, and you best have VERY thick skin. Man I wish I could get up to Montana to visit!

Not a 20s-30s on, so perhaps Occupation of Japan, lets see what others say.

Here is a #6 and a couple 7s that sold on eBay in the past few years.   There are more than 3 people trying to sell flags for over $2K no size 7 has sold for that much in 3 years.  The prices shown are actually sold prices from the past 3 years.  

Very much outside my wheelhouse, have had it for a while but plan on moving it along. All wool bunting made by Annin, is about 2 1/2 by 4 feet and has visible stains on the grommets. Has many small holes.   

Now this is the kind of cool, and unusual stuff, we here get to learn about on this forum and not many other places.  I will be following along, I have NO idea on this, to see what may be found out about this interesting item.  Such a great place to be able to come together and get ideas/pointers/knowledge from others to learn about all of the usual, not so usual, and downright obscure items that are still out there from out military past.
