Auction 46
Lot 049:
Variety of Israeli flags, most from the 1950s and Israel’s first decade. Around 60 larger flags. Some of the flags come from before the standardized blue color was officially established by law, one of which is tattered and came from the home of one of the Haifa Port managers at the time and was kept in a display in "Kvod Melachim" and may be one of the 100 flags made on the day independence was declared, by the Ata sewing workshop in Haifa, with light blue strips on sheets hoisted during the day in important institutions in the city (one such flag is in the Haifa City Archives). Unfortunately, the location of the label ‘Ata’ on this flag is worn away.
One is 2.5×1.5m. Various fabrics, the addition of dozens of smaller decorative flags. Signs of wear.
