Default Old flag collection

Hi my name is Sam and like most newbies I have a question. My mom just gave a mini flag collection. They seem to be a series that she remembers her dad collection over a period of time. They are from many nations, including the American(48) and some of Indian chiefs heads. The cloth is felt. Some of the nations don't exist anymore and some are spelled different. Most are 5 1/4" x 8 1/4" or 8" x 10". A few as large as 12" x 17" like the American flag below. My wife and I have never seen anything like these and were wondering decided to do some research and find out who made them and if they are collectable. We love stuff like this and display in our home. Thanks for any help you might be able to give, Sam

Sorry, must have done something wrong on the pictures. I don't seem to be able to make a JPG file small enough even on my lowest setting on our old camera. Sorry, Sam

Hi there

Try making a photobucket account (free at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket)
You can follow the steps on how to add pictures on here if you go to the 'american flag pictures' section, and take a look at the the very 1st thread

Hi, Do you mean Cigar Box Felts like the one for sale at the link below? They were given away as premiums by cigar manufacturers.They are worth between 50 cents to 10 dollars each, depending on how many you have, the condition, size, etc.
