A Pair of Vintage Hand-Held Union Jack Flags c.193
The quality printed flags on their original wooden poles with, the cotton ‘British Made’ stamped.
In good vintage condition there is some fraying to the edges, and some looseness to the attachment of the cotton to the poles.
The current design of the flag dates from the union of Ireland and Great Britain in 1801. When the first flag was introduced in 1606, it became known simply as "the British flag" or "the flag of Britain". The word "jack" was in use before 1600 to describe the maritime bow flag. One theory goes that for some years it would have been called just "the Jack", or "Jack flag", or "the King's Jack", but by 1674, while formally referred to as "His Majesty's Jack", it was commonly called the Union Jack, and this was officially acknowledged.
If not perfect for the jubilee these are just good decorative items.
