Description: This is a vintage US Coast Guard ensign (flag). It has printed red stripes and Coast Guard insignia. It has brass grommets. It has signs of regular use, but is in good condition without frayed edges. It was made by Paramount Flag Company in San Fransisco, California. Paramount Flag Company was in business between 1937 -1988, so this flag is at least 36 years old, but probably older. It likely dates to the Vietnam era because the abbreviation for California on the tag is Cal, rather than CA. The use of two letter state abbreviations began in 1963. This ensign is made of Nyla-Wool - 75% nylon and 25% wool. It has a cotton weave look. It is faded and the blue has bled so it was likely retired. Ensigns of this type had relatively short life spans, typically lasting only several months due to the harsh environments they were used in.
