Three to Buy

Annin’s flags are the classics: They were at Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration and funeral, and planted on the North Pole in 1909, the South Pole in 1930, Mount Everest in 1963, and on the moon during the 1969 Apollo mission. Annin American Flags are made of 100 percent cotton in New Jersey.
