Made by the American Banner Company in Chicago Illinois, manufacturers of a full range of felt banners and flags; this one is said to have been intended for display in company offices. Patriotic galore, with a nicely rendered painted eagle, skillfully appliqued American flags, and even a jaunty fringe on all four sides of the same felt material. Will hang square (we rushed photos and did not anchor the corners) Minor moth nibbles that do not detract from the appearance of this unique piece of Americana
c. 1890-1900 60" square wool felt
