Summary
A sealed cellophane packet containing four paper flags on thin wooden sticks, for sticking in the top of sandcastles (2007). Each flag has a different design but only three are visible: a red and black lion (rampant) on a yellow background; three yellow and black lions, one on top of the other, reaching forward, on a brown background; and a red, white and blue British Union flag. There is a white paper label holding the sticks together, which has 'Sandflags' in red. A white paper label stuck to the packet is printed in black with safety information, importer's information and a bar code.
Provenance
Purchased for the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Sue J. Fraser (Collections Assistant) in June 2007.
