Above: Best Made carries an American flag by its downtown New York neighbor Annin flagmakers, a Fulton Street company founded in 1847. 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. Above: A 48-Embroidered Star Flag dating from 1945 to ’50, from Jeff R. Bridgman, a antiques dealer specializing in flags. This example is sold, but Bridgman has a range of others. Above: Ethan Allen sells Framed Vintage American Flags of different sizes starting at $899.
