This is a Georgia State flag made by the Dettra Flag Company, Inc. of Oaks, Pennsylvania. The flag was manufactured in the 1950's and measures 3' x 5'. The flag is 2 ply cotton and is machine sewn. The stars are printed, not sewn. There is a small area of fraying on the heading by one of the brass grommets. That is the only flaw with the flag. The label printed on the heading reads "DETCO PROCESS/BULL DOG BUNTING/GUARANTEED EXTRA FAST/100% COTTON". Printed beside the label on the left is GEORGIA and on the right is the DETRA Flag logo. The colors are still very vibrant, yet the white shows the flag has some age to it. This version of the Georgia State flag was adopted by the Georgia state legislature on 13 February, 1956. It was designed by John Sammons Bell, a World War II veteran. The "1956" flag was the official state flag until 2001, when it was replaced. This one displays like a million bucks!
