American Flags Mascot
This set of 5 flags came with a box that has seen better days, almost wanting to crumble to dust.
Hood ornaments supported the aspiring building of a nation in France as in America, sometimes this flag would be held by Uncle Sam, around Liberty or an eagle. When Uncle Sam held the flag there were only 13 stars !~ Brought out at holidays and parades, these were very popular in their day.
