Description: Hard To Find! Rare WWII Japanese Telescoping "Meatball" Flag. The flag is on a 4 piece black & white telescoping stick that when fully extended measures about 13 1/2". Other people have referred to the plastic pole as celluloid, but I do not know how to confirm that? The flag itself measures about 10 1/2" across by about 8 3/4" tall. The flag is in nice condition but has age stains. PLEASE review the pictures as I showed all 4 corners on both sides. Great piece of original WWII Japanese militaria. My research makes me believe this to be a Japanese WWII "meatball" flag that... 1) Japanese soldiers would have been given by their family before going into battle as a good luck charm. Sometimes the soldiers would attach them to their bayonets or they'd be placed in a gun barrel. 2) I also found out that this is a WWII period Japanese Patriotic National Flag. These would have been used by citizens and soldiers during parades and other political events, the collapsible pole would have made carrying in the pocket much easier until it was needed to be used. The pictures were taken outside on a partly sunny day. Please review all of them as I hid nothing when taking the pictures. My customers are satisfied because when you buy from me, there are no unpleasant surprises. Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding. Ships to USA only. Will ship USPS Ground Advantage, insured, figured to your zip code. I will ship it carefully folded placed in a plastic bag and then in a cardboard box. I do NOT mark up shipping nor do I charge a handling fee. I do combine shipping on multiple purchases when possible, but you have to ask. I give positive feedback after I receive it. That way I know that you are 100% satisfied and that our transaction is complete. Thanks for your interest, this is a neat, vintage, historic WWII Japanese Telescoping Flag that will surely catch people's attention! Good Luck!
