Great collections!Any interesting signatures? We have signatures from a number of famous aviators and astronauts, plus some of the Star Trek folks. Maybe some you have also?Not historic flags, but a flag from every country either my husband or I have visited. Still trying to figure out how to display them.
Thanks brokeplex!Did you or anyone know that I had an original old Amercian flag with:only 48 stars !!How much would that have been worth?Au revoir,hugs!!
Very cool that you have have Shatner and Nimoy's signatures since you were so young! From Trek I only have Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, and Robert Picardo. From real life space/aviation folk, I have Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins, Cernan, Glenn, Crossfield, both Rutans, and a few others. Many of these are on space & aviation artwork adorning the walls of my home.A little story, as an aside. A few years back my husband and I were eating breakfast in Dayton, OH, where we were attending the "Inventing Flight" celebration. We looked over at the next table and there was John Glenn having breakfast with his wife and another couple. We didn't want to bother them during the meal, so we quietly arranged with our waitress to pick up the check for his table. We considered it an honor. Well, we were rewarded when, upon checking out, the hotel staff handed us a personal letter from John Glenn, complete with our names, thanking us. What a class act! He is one of my heroes.We have about 40 flags, so it is a bit of a challenge. We have a hangar with an 18 foot ceiling, and are trying to think of a way to hang the flags. Still working on it.
