Re: Roy Lichenstein Banners

["Sandra L. Troon" <stroon@xxxxxxxx>]

Carol,
Thanks for your response. I am interested in the type of lining fabric
and whether the banner was distorted along the sides.  Was there a casing
at the upper and lower edges and flat metal bar stock used to hang the
upper edge and weight the lower edge of the banner?  Were there D-rings
and wire attached to the bar stock through the banner at the reverse
upper edge?  Did  your banner have a Betsy Ross company label  and if so
what did it say?  I appreciate your help.  Sandy
