Ermelo old unofficial flag

[Ermelo old unofficial flag] by Jarig Bakker, 8 Jun 2003

The old flag is described by Sierksma (Nederlands Vlaggenboek, 1962): Two horizontal bars YB, with on the hoist a vertical white bar (Madagascar-style) with the (old) municipal CoA, topped by a crown with five leaves and five pearls.
That flag was unofficial, but in general use. CoA from the Koffie Hag Album.

At the Shipmate site is another old flag, captioned 1938, thus probably used by Ermeloërs for the celebrations of Queen Wilhelmina's 40 years reigning jubilee, just bicolor yellow over blue.
