An exceptional find for collectors of World War II home-front history and New England industrial heritage.
Offered is a pristine copy of Under Our Flag, published in 1948 by the world-renowned Norton Company of Worcester, Massachusetts. This volume was produced as a solemn tribute to the 2,541 Norton employees who served in the Armed Forces during WWII, with a specific \"Gold Star\" focus on the 61 men who gave their lives.
Condition Details:This copy is in remarkable, investment-grade condition.
Cover: The original dark blue/black cloth binding is sharp with bright, crisp embossing. No fading.
Spine: Tight and uncracked.
Pages: Clean, white, and free of foxing, odors, or inscriptions.
Content: Features high-quality photographic portraits of the fallen, detailed service lists, and artistic renderings of the Norton plant’s contribution to the war effort.
Historical Significance:As the world’s largest abrasives manufacturer at the time, Norton was the backbone of the \"Arsenal of Democracy.\" This book was never sold to the public; it was distributed privately to employees and families, making surviving copies—especially in this \"collector’s grade\" condition—incredibly rare.
