WW2 Victory Flag

[Civil War Geek]

My grandfather got this flag when he was a kid. We both assumed it was a victory flag from ww2 because it's marked Britain u.s. There's similar flags like it on the Internet, but none just like it. If anyone knows anything about it please feel free to leave a reply.

Could it have been a high school flag staff piece maybe? Where did he go to school?

He inherited the flag from his grandmother, but I don't know much more than that.

Looks like a WW 1 era Victory loan drive flag.

I can't find one quite like it.... Do you know an approximate year that your grandfather got the flag? If it was before 1942 it will be a WW1 era flag, after 42 it could be either. My guess is a parade flag from a war bonds drive, or scrap metal drive possibly... Those flags were pretty much everywhere in war time and without provenance it will be pretty hard to nail down where it started out at...

He received it after WW2, which like you said, makes it really hard to pinpoint.
