Languages are many. Spoken language, body language, sign language, and bad language. Flag language was invented by the Admiralties of the Age of Sail, when ships needed to communicate by visual means. Every ship carried a flag-manual, with all the flags and codes spelled out. Pennants, ensigns and flags all had a specific code; combinations of flags spelled more complicated messages. We have always loved the colorful triangular number flags, which in the Navy are called pennants. What could be more fun, as well as practical, than to combine numbered pennants with coat hooks, used individually, or in multiples on a kid’s room wall. Mounted in larger series on a piece of wood it’s easy to create a custom flag-coat-rack. Handmade in tole tin and wrought iron, hand painted and expertly distressed.
