<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 319190, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; As a kid I remember a very old neighbor gave my aunt an original 13 starred flag it was made of wool and a bit ratty on the edges. That July I asked my aunt if I could display the flag for the Fourth. She said &quot;I threw that nasty old rag out, it probably had bugs in it.&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I think it was then I started to collect &quot;antiques&quot;. When I was 12 I bought a very large flag, I think it was 12ft by 16ft. It was 8 dollars which was a large amount for a kid back then. I had that flag until the 1990s when I gave it to Chinese couple of friends of mine who had a large florist shop. They had it displayed until they closed their store in Brooklyn. It now gets displayed for the Fourth on their house on Staten Island. The husband was a helicopter pilot in VietNam. </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
