Summary
Unbleached even-weave linen flag with large oak leaf symbol printed in green. Made by Piggott Brothers and Co. Limited, Stanford Rivers, Ongar, Essex, CM5 9PJ. Manufacturers and care label. Early National Trust logo with three acorns fewer than today's symbol. Calico edging down left hand side with rope running through it, a wooden toggle on one end and loop on the other. Hemmed down opposite end, selvage edges along top and bottom. Appears to have been unused as it looks much newer and cleaner than SPE.T.386.1.
