Note on the reverse (backs) of flags: It is standard traditional flag construction that images, words and other adornments on a flag are “backwards” when viewed from behind. It is not correct to sew two standard flags back-to-back in order for them to read the same from both directions.

From the Warehouse
We found 88 examples of the retired Old Mississippi state flag (1894-2020) in cotton boxed and forgotten in our own warehouse — made before the design was retired in 2020, with individually appliquéd stars. When they are gone there will be no more.
