New Zealand post office flag - large wool and cotton stitched vintage flag
Fantastic and rare New Zealand Post office flag - weathered to perfection! This flag was originally flown outside a post office in Wellington, NZ. The only other one I can find at the moment is in a museum - so snatch up this piece of kiwi history while it’s available!
The flag body appears to be wool with the individual letters and center emblem cotton. I absolutely love the holes, wind frayed edges and the fabric repair patch. So much character and history!
The center logo-emblem depicts a Kiwi bird against an envelope, surrounded by two lightening bolts, an airplane, ship, train, broadcast tower and telegraph pole, flanked by two Hermes-wings and topped with the royal crown.
Measurements: 72x34 inches
Lovely, weathered condition from being flown outside. Some holes, pulls in the fabric, repairs and age marks here and there. Please view pictures carefully. Freshly laundered and ready to be displayed!
Free shipping world wide!
