TacHel Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I bought this a little while back at a local gun show. It is printed on silk (I think), is just over 14 inches high, 8 3/4 inches wide and hangs from a red string. This is DEFINITELY going into one of my medal frames, but I'm really unsure as to its age... WW2? WW1? Earlier? I'd appreciate any help in narrowing down its age. Edited January 2, 2012 by TacHel
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Frank - this could be for a Wartime occasion - however, I think it was meant for window display and very possibly the Coronation of King George 6th in 1937. The ones for street lamps etc. were usually larger and printed on cotton. The sentiments expressed would seem right for that period. Mervyn
