The banner is constructed in the traditional service-banner style with sewn fabric elements, decorative scalloped edging, hanging cord, and an applied gold-tone anchor\/sweetheart-style ornament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlue Star service banners have a long American military tradition and were displayed by families to signify that a member of the household was serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The single blue star represents one family member in active military service.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example carries a Standard Pennant Co., Big Run, Pennsylvania maker marking. While the overall construction closely follows WWII-era service banners, we have not established sufficient provenance to guarantee this piece was manufactured during World War II. It is therefore being offered as a vintage\/WWII-style service banner rather than represented as a documented WWII example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe small gold-tone anchor ornament appears to have been attached to the banner separately and should not be assumed to have been part of the original factory construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition is very good overall, showing only light age-related discoloration and handling wear. The colors remain strong, the central blue star displays well, and the hanging cord remains intact.
