If for display and not for height try a ground spike (angle iron) and tube fabricated by local welder. Add a pair of small foot tabs to help set the spike in the soil.
Ikea had some nice one piece curtain rod with end caps at 7- 8' or try a lumber yard for closet poles of suitable diameter and length for your flag
I used the curtain rod painted black and gold leafed the finial, brass eye screws attach the 3x5 roger.

Pointy scabbard tips, em' buggers always seem to poke ye when least expected.
Has anyone come up with a plan to de-poke the tip? I was considering a brass ball slotted to fit and soldered on.
Any other thoughts?

Me brother-in-law is in Anchorage, Alaska. From what I've been told... He fights Polar Bears one-handed, eats Salmon, kicks Moose off his deck, pans gold, and frequents the Great Alaskan Bush Co.

Bo.... between work and refinishing 'Breezy' soon you'll have arms like Popeye.
Down loading photos is still a chore for me also.
Old dudes rule!

The past two days have been cooling off a bit so I've been wearing my new dark gray w/green stripe Monmouth cap, a custom order by KK.

Yes, it becomes an obsession. Another that I ordered at the same time as the gray/green Monmouth was a Whaler with wool from a local Historical Farm-Museum.
The wool was from their Cotswold sheep and dyed with marigolds into a very pale yellow color... turned out great.

Not hard... she does nice work.
Even M'lady enjoys 'em in His/Hers models. Hers have an more obscure loop knited into the backs.
Fashionable enough to have been seen on NYC's 5 Ave, says I.
Contrary to KK's suggestion of a thrum on 5 th would start a new fashion statement, the Captain lacks the fortitude for that.
