I wanted to get some advice on purchasing a US flag from the UK and wanted an opinion as to the best flagmakers in that country. I have done some internet research and have a list of possibilities but if any one out there has any preference or experience I want to hear about it. Thanks!

Hi there

I have a large collection of US flags, and I am from England. I don't currently collect flags, because I have so many already.. I moved to collecting the Statue of Liberty.

I do have 1 US flag that is made in the UK, and it is a very nice flag, well made
It is a printed flag, printed on cotton.
The left hand side has a strip going up, that is well attached, and is capable of having a pole inserted (a sleeve) and it also comes with the standard UK rope and toggle attachments to attach to a halyard.

The other feature to this flag is at the other end of it, at the fly end, there is a netting stitched all the way down, to help defend the flag against fraying ends

Ill get a pic of it in a little while.. my other half is just on the phone at the moment!

The flag is made by David Martin Stenhouse Ltd
Station Rd
Cupar
Fife
KY15 5HX

Tel: 01334-653144

This is on a label on the flag

Hi UK!,
The address you gave, was it England or Scotland? Great pic of your flag! Now I see what they mean by adding anti-fraying strip to the end. Thanks so much!

Hey there

That address is in Scotland

Pictures say a thousand words.. It isnt much effort to take them

May I ask how much you paid? I hope you are kidding about giving up flag collecting. Thanks again!

But I have so MANY flags lol
I haven't entirely given up collecting, I will take them if they are given to me, or if I find a really special one, I will consider it.

The flag collection goes really nice with the Statue of Liberty collection. Honest;y I find her more interesting to collect cos there are so many different ones
She is often seen together with the flag
I have a 5ft 6 Liberty replica that has her robes painted like the flag, and I have smaller ones also inspired by the flag too, so in that way, I am keeping it going


How much I paid for the flag? I got it on eBay, and in all honesty, Ive forgotten how much it was.

Ill take some pics of my room/ collection later today

I would love to see them. If you are interested I can post some of my 48 star collection.
