Nautical Flags - Vintage

"O" is for Oyster! These vintage, nautical signal flags are canvas/linen with original cotton strings fragments. This is probably a set of semaphores flags (marine sign language) or a collection of "O" flags. Colors are a cranberry red and a goldenrod. 

Disinfected, yet still worn, this looks great hanging loose or in a frame. They are sold unframed, flag only. Most are in quite lovely worn shape, consistent with age and use. 

Roughly 15.5” x 14.5”.
