First Navy Jack Flag

First Navy Jack Flag

The First Navy Jack is one of the oldest American naval flags, traditionally linked to the Continental Navy: red and white stripes, an uncoiled rattlesnake and the motto "Dont Tread On Me." This United Defense version is made for display on a flagpole, a wall, a garage or a shop. It suits Navy veterans, sailors and anyone who collects early American and military flags.

Features

• Thirteen Red And White Stripes — Alternating red and white stripes run the full width of the field, matching the traditional jack design.
• Uncoiled Rattlesnake Emblem — A gold rattlesnake with red markings stretches diagonally across the stripes, head raised toward the hoist.
• Dont Tread On Me Motto — The slogan is printed in black serif capitals across the lowest white stripe, without an apostrophe, as shown in the photograph.
• Metal Grommets — Two metal eyelets on the hoist edge, the side that sits against the pole, take flagpole clips, hooks or cord ties.
• Horizontal Display Layout — The design reads correctly when hung flat with the grommets on the left, whether on a pole or pinned to a wall.
• United Defense Brand — Produced by United Defense, a commercial maker of flags and patriotic display items.

Display and Mounting

The grommets let you clip the flag to a standard pole halyard or hang it from two nails or hooks on a wall. It looks just as good over a workbench, in a den or behind a display case of naval memorabilia as it does flying outdoors.
