This is a nice clean grouping of the intriguing P6 “National Flag” series, an array of the 7/8-inch in diameter pins depicting flags from around the world that at the turn of the century included a number of sovereign nations that either no longer exist or do so under a different name or border configuration. The array is largely Ex to Ex-Mt, with a couple below, with the back paper inserts intact on about two thirds, typically the Sweet Caporal. The countries included: Algiers, Austrian Italy, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Chili, China (back insert missing), US of Columbia (back insert missing), Congo, Costa Rica (back insert missing), Denmark, Ecuador (back insert missing), Germany, Greece (back insert missing), Guatemala, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Liberia (back insert missing), Montenegro, New South Wales, New Zealand (back insert shows some wear), Portugal (back insert missing), Salvador, San Domingo (back insert missing), Saxony, Siam, Spain, United States (back insert shows some wear) and Victoria (back insert missing).
