The Flags And Flagpoles That Survived

By Ben Rowlands


The usage of flags and flagpoles spread from India and China, where they were almost certainly invented, to neighboring Burma, Siam, and southeastern Asia. The Persians used Derafsh Kaviani as the flag, at the time of Achaemenian dynasty at 550-330 B.C.

Though not always, flags could identify individual leaders: in Europe, monarchs and knights; in Japan, the samurai; in China, the generals under the imperial army; and in Mexico, the Aztec alliances.

A flag is one of those objects that we enjoy being associated with. They articulate the values that we believe in. Flagpoles are installed with the intention of evoking emotions from the observer. The might and confidence a flag radiates from its flagpole are similar to the characteristics an individual or organization wants to project regarding their own identity.

Flags tend to have rich histories. The flag poles on which they fly have a history, too, which offers glimpses into changes in technology and culture. Early flag poles were simply trees selected for their relative straightness that was cut down, stripped of bark and branches, and then replanted in the ground with a flag attached at the top. More refined wooden poles were made with spruce or pine trees, which naturally grow straighter than hardwood trees. These trees were stripped of bark and branches and then thoroughly smoothed down with draw knives and planes.

More refined wooden posts were made with spruce or pine trees, which normally become straighter than hardwood trees. These trees were stripped of bark and branches and after that completely smoothed down with draw blades and planes.

There is a barrage of cheap and Flagpoles being imported and sold, that do not comply with the statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flagpoles are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpoles made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpoles designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to comfort your environment with the genius American brand flagpoles that stay for centuries to memorize the history of flagpole production for the future.
