Pre‑State Handmade Israeli Flag (c. 1938–1947)
Offered here is a rare, museum‑grade handmade Israeli/Zionist flag produced in the late pre‑state Yishuv era.
This example was crafted between 1938 and 1947, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Flags from this period were made in small community workshops, kibbutzim, youth‑movement sewing rooms, and local Zionist committees — long before standardized factory production existed.
Key Features
- Handmade construction with hand‑guided stitching throughout
- Raw‑edge appliqué Star of David, consistent with 1930s–40s Yishuv textile methods
- Cotton‑linen blend fabric, typical of pre‑state community production
Separate sewn blue panels (not printed), confirming early non‑industrial manufacture
- No grommets, loops, or header, indicating communal or ceremonial indoor use
Approx. size: 103 × 77 cm (40.5 × 30.25 inches)
