The flag probably belonged to Harry Randolph Elliot (1862-1946), a successful printer and manufacturer of stationery. For many years, the H. Randolph Elliot & Company was located at 13 Stone Street in Brooklyn, New York. Elliot's father, Edward Compson Elliot (1827-1912), was born in England and arrived in New York in 1848. He became an American citizen in 1876.
