Authentic 3′ x 5′ Alaska Indoor Nylon Flag with Pole Sleeve & Fringe

The Alaska state flag, designed by John Bell (Benny) Benson, a thirteen year-old in an orphanage, was chosen as the winner of a contest sponsored by the Alaska Department of the American Legion in 1927. The prize was awarded for this unique design.

This 3′ x 5′ Alaska Indoor Nylon Flag, made with durable nylon material, is perfect for indoor display and features a pole sleeve and fringe for added elegance. The flag’s dark blue background boasts eight five-pointed gold stars in the shape of ‘the Big Dipper’ and a larger gold star representing Polaris, the pole star.

When Alaska entered the Union in 1959, the territorial flag officially became the state flag. Today, all the designs for the contest, as well as Benny’s prize–a gold watch engraved with the flag–are preserved in the Alaska State Museum in Juneau.
