The Capitol Flag Program began in 1937, when a member of Congress asked that a flag be flown over the Capitol. The program now includes flags that are flown on national holidays and special events. Flags that are used to honor the work done by schools and civic organizations are also included in the Capitol flag program. Since these flags are always used to commemorate special events, they are considered to be unique and rare items.
A number of online companies and local shops offer Capitol flag displays. These displays are available in acrylic or glass with wood or metal bases. The transparent cases are semi-circular, pyramid and flat laid out shapes that allow a viewer to have an unobstructed view of the inlaid flag. The size of the flag determines the size of the display. A number of these artifacts are passed on as heirlooms. For this reason, the materials used to build the cases are sturdy and durable. A number of Capitol flag displays used in museums are specially tinted for added protection.
In recent times, the demand for Capitol flags has rapidly increased in comparison to supply, because many congressmen and senators order them to emphasize their state. The purchase price of Capitol flags includes flag costs, postage and handling charges and supplementary charges for set up. These high quality flags generally last for many years and come with a certificate of authenticity. The certificates provide a date and place detailing when and where flag was flown over the Capitol. In most cases, along with arranging Capitol flag displays, enthusiasts and collectors purchase a certificate case to go along with the flag.
