The Great Exhibition of 1851 It was a great day for the all-American Annin Flagmakers when the New York City based flag company was contracted to supply the flags for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s “Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations” in London, England. This event held in 1851 is considered by historians to be the first World’s Fair.

Civil War Annin Flagmakers had the honor of supplying all of the US flags for the Union troops during the American Civil War. From 1861 to 1865, Annin Flagmakers sold 1.5 million flags and emblems. It was during this period of history that private citizens began flying US flags on their homes and businesses as a sign of patriotism.

Abraham Lincoln Annin Flagmakers supplied the flag for the inauguration of President Lincoln. Sadly, Annin also furnished the flag that draped his casket as it was taken by train from Washington, D.C. to Illinois for burial after his tragic assassination in 1865.

Did you know?

Apollo 11 Mission to the Moon The US flag that Annin Flagmakers supplied to NASA for the Apollo 11 moon landing was specially made with a sleeve across the top length. This was done so a pole could be inserted to hold it out straight since it would normally hang limp in the moon's windless atmosphere. When astronaut Buzz Aldrin assembled the flagpole, the horizontal part of the pole jammed and the pole did not fully extend. This is why the flag appears to be “waving in a breeze” in the NASA photographs thus giving credence to the false rumor that the entire mission was a hoax.
