ukok Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi I'll post a pic later once i've found my camera but was hoping someone could identify this flag for me ! I have a silver beeker / cup made to commemorate a launch at Kiel in 1896. On one side is some German text, the other side has 3 enamel flags on a mast. Above the white and red ensigns is a flag with 2 red and 2 white squares, the letter E bottom left, the letter C top right and in the centre a J within a circle. It's commemorating a launch or Stapellauf and notes the dates 4th to 7th July 1896. Is this a shipping company house flag, and if so, which one ? Many thanks.

Guest Rick Research Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I suspect the text might help more, so will be waiting for those scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukok Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'll post the pics later this morning but the text is " Zur Errinerung Und Unseren Stapellauf . sen 4-7 Juli. Kiel 1896 " which doesn't give anything of interest other than the date / place. If i know which shipping line it is, i can then work out which ship from the launch date - unless it's celebrating one of the regattas they held there.

Guest Rick Research Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I surmise it is E(something) J(acht) C(lub) which means some sort of privately owned yacht. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukok Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't think it's a yachting flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
