Got several requests for hits..so here goes.... my thanks to all that
responded!!!

Original Question--Does anyone know of a source for small, inexpensive flags
from different countries? I have a plastic banner-type, but I would like some
individual
fabric (cotton?) ones to put on top of bookcases from as many countries as I
can locate.


Sources of flags...

Hi! Try Alamo Flag Company. I don't have a catalog at hand, but I bet they
advertise on the web. They have stores in places like Inner Harbor in
Boston, Jackson Square in New Orleans, and a big market/mall in New York
City, whose name I've forgotten. I believe their flags are nylon or a
similar synthetic. HTH
******************************************
I found a set a a local company that makes flags.  You might see if
there's one in your area.
******************************************
There is a store here in Columbus called The Flag Lady.  It is on High
Street.  If you can't find the phone number, let me know and I'll dig it
up.  The flag lady has little ones to huge ones, all different countries.
She also has small wooden stands that hold 1, 2 or 3 small flags.
*****************************************************
I researched this several months ago, and found that the most reasonably
priced source was Flags International, Inc.  The URL is
http://flagsinternational.com/ FlagsOfTheWorldDirectory.html.  Check out
the site, and see if it is what you're looking for.  Good luck.

Try Liberty Flag & Speciality Co., E7556 Hwy 33 East, PO Box 424,
Reedsburg, WI  53959.  1-800-274-7001.  I haven't ordered from them, but
have seen a catalog.
