Historical Flags are constructed for durability and long life. Our authentic reproductions of flags from American History are popular with collectors as part of patriotic displays. They are manufactured to the same high quality outdoor as our State flags, using 200 Denier Nylon, canvas heading and brass grommets. Like many Revolution era flags, the Bennington features 13 stars and 13 stripes, symbolic of the 13 American colonies that were in a state of rebellion against Great Britain. The Bennington version is easily identified by a large 76 in the canton, recalling the year 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Another unique feature of the Bennington flag is the arrangement of the 13 stripes, alternating white-red (from either the top or bottom) instead of the more traditional red-white. Also its thirteen stars have seven points each instead of the traditional five. |
