Here is a great piece that's now available at Rusty Gold Antiques!
This is not in our display case, to show off it's full glory, we had to hang it up. It's in plain view if you're looking through our display case full of military and just turn around!
For those of you who don't know what this is, this is called a Son in Service banner.
Most of these banners were personal ones with 1, 2, or a few stars on it, signifying that the family in that house had part of their family fighting. Most of these stars were blue.
If there was a yellow star, then that signifies that the family lost a family member in the war.
These are much more difficult to find. This is called a community Son in Service banner. It has 22 stars and is in a not often seen triangle banner shape.
This is a beautiful and not easy to find piece that would be welcomed into any military collector's collection!
