Connecticut Stick Flag 12×18 Inch with 24 inch Wood Pole – Printed Polyester – State of Connecticut Handheld Desk Flag Small Connecticut Flag

24-Inch Natural Wood Pole

The 24-inch natural wood pole is the traditional and correct pole length for the 12×18 inch handheld flag format. Wood is lighter than metal alternatives, comfortable for extended parade carry, and the natural finish is the visual convention for state and national stick flags used in civic ceremonies, school events, and heritage celebrations across Connecticut.

12×18 Inch Detail-Legible Format

Connecticut’s grapevine shield carries more heraldic detail than almost any other state flag design. At 12×18 inches, the baroque shield, three grapevines, grape clusters, and “Qui Transtulit Sustinet” motto streamer are all rendered at a scale legible from 2–5 feet — the correct format for classroom display, office desk use, and civic education contexts where the flag’s historical meaning matters.

Printed Polyester Construction

Printed polyester delivers Connecticut’s colonial blue field, the white baroque shield, and the grapevine detail in full color at the 12×18 inch handheld format. The construction is correct for indoor parade, desk, and close-range display contexts. Both face and reverse show the Connecticut flag design — primary face for forward-facing display, natural mirror image on reverse for behind-the-carrier viewing during parade events.

Official 1897 Connecticut Flag Design

The 1897 Connecticut General Assembly flag design — three grapevines on white baroque shield, colonial blue field, “Qui Transtulit Sustinet” motto streamer — tracing directly to the 1639 Saybrook Colony heraldry. Connecticut’s Constitution State history rendered at the standard handheld scale for parades, classrooms, civic events, and desk display throughout the 5th state.

Handheld Parade Format

The 12×18 inch flag on a 24-inch wood pole is the standard Connecticut parade handout and carry format. Sized for comfortable single-hand carry for adults and older children at Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Constitution Day, and local Connecticut town parade events. Compatible with all standard parade marshal and flag-bearer carry techniques.

Desk & Tabletop Ready

The 24-inch pole elevates the 12×18 inch flag to correct display height above a standard desk or conference table surface when placed in a desk base or holder. Compatible with all standard 5/16-inch stick flag desk bases. The correct format for Connecticut state government offices, law offices, university reception areas, and conference rooms throughout New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, and Stamford.
