too true

Nice Flag or tea towel-or is it not that big...?

Is it really about five feet long ?

Intrigued ........................

Just received my Flag I have to pinch myself ! I had one in 1985 and sold it for £385.00 at the Birmingham record fair , that would be a £1000.00 in today's money , I don't understand the lack of interest

The sizes on the image indicate that it is standard flag size of 6'x 4'.

Did you check out the Newton Flag Company website above?

Soundgen: I just checked out your website and just now realized that we met in person at your stall on Portobello Road a few years ago. I bought something from you - maybe a needle sharpener or some needle tins, can't quite remember...

Yes I think you bought tins I do know the flag maker in the link , when I had the original one in 1985 ( which I sold to Morris Hunting of The Diskery in Birmingham ) This company made 108 copies using some old period flag material , alas they are all sold now except for the one we use for display at Portobello road . We sold a considerable number to Neil Makin of Yesterday Once Again who sold them in the US for $150 ( see The Collectors Guide to " His Master's Voice " Nipper Souvenirs Page 463 )
