Picks NOS Display Card 48-Star. This original mid-century store display card features a complete set ("One Dozen") of "Flagetts" mini paper 48-star American flags mounted on wooden toothpicks, manufactured for party and banquet food decorations. Retaining its bold 10¢ price graphics and classic mid-century typography, unopened original store display cards like this carry strong appeal for collectors of vintage Americana, patriotic party ephemera, graphic advertising, and 48-star flag history.

(N.Y.C.), estimated c. 1940s–1950s, printed paper flags mounted to wooden toothpicks on die-cut cardstock display backer, marked "10c FLAGETTS 10c", "MADE IN U.S.A.", and "REQUIRE PRODUCTS CO., N.Y.C.", carder dimensions measure approximately 4 x 10 inches overall. Displays expected signs of age including subtle toning to the white cardstock, minor corner softening, and light storage wear, though the display card remains flat, all twelve mini flags remain intact, and graphic colors remain bright; no major tears, heavy stains, or missing pieces observed.
