Great Star 3′ x 5′ Outdoor Nylon Flag w/ Heading & Grommets

This flag was designed by Captain Samuel Chester Reid, U.S.N. at the request of Congressman Peter H. Wendover of New York. Wendover asked Reid to design a flag that would allow for the increase of the number of states without destroying the distinctive character of the flag. He was most concerned that the committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of altering the flag was considering increasing both the stars and the stripes. Reid recommended that the stripes be reduced to thirteen for the original states, and that the number of stars representing the whole number of states be formed into one great star on the canton. ⚠ Prop 65 WARNING
