Beautiful 1937 Signal Flag and Semaphore Pocket Booklet (on Heavy Board) jointed round wood mirror very worn in some areas

very worn in some areas and not much in others

thus the lighter edges of the paper

but think the simplicity of the form here makes for an ideal match with this acid orange

there are strong arguments in all directions

Beautiful 1937 Signal Flag and Semaphore Pocket Booklet (on Heavy Board) jointed round wood mirror very worn in some areasI've had a few decks of US Navy signal flag card decks, which I love (what's prettier than a bunch of colorful, boldly patterned flags speaking in code?), but this is the first of these Signal Card pocket books I've found, and what an excellent thing. Just six pages plus cover, color litho on paper adhered to heavyweight board, it covers alphabetical and numeral flags, "special" flags, pendant flags, substitutes, morse code and semaphore. Beautiful
