Storm King," was a brand name used by the maker. The name appears to have first have been employed by Collegeville Flag & Banner Company of Collegeville, Pennsylvania [later known as Collegeville Flag & Manufacturing Co.], to indicate their best grade of stitched cotton flags. The term was not unique to Collegeville, however, which makes it difficult to positively attribute a flag with this marking. While it appears in Collegeville catalogues as early as the 1920's, and possibly prior, the name can also be encountered in the 1939 catalogue of "Old Glory" Flag Manufacturing Company of Chicago, to differentiate their cotton, rectangular ship and advertising flags from those that they produced in wool bunting. Presuming the terminology wasn't copyrighted, it could have become common industry language among some makers for heavier duty cotton flags with sewn elements and devices.
The flag is made with two high quality brass grommets and hand sewn stars, and with the name storm king, you can count on every thread being high quality as well.
With the size of this flag being 5 x 8, it lends to many different decor ideas.
