I have had an Apollo program flag for several years. I would like to know if it is contemporary (most likely manufactured in the 2000s) or much older, and how much older.

I am hopeful that someone can judge the flag’s age by the Annin label style appearing on the flag. Any age information would be greatly appreciated!

It would also be good to know if flags of this type are plentiful. Thanks!

Well, seeing how one of my other hobbies is actually vintage flag collecting, your flag dates from the 1970s based on the Annin label...most likely early 70s seeing how that is when the Apollo program was still around. It could have been produced for the bicentennial of 1976 or possibly for the 10th anniversary of Apollo 11 in 1979. Hope that helps.
