The Flagpole No. 89 was available between the years 1956 and 1958. The cloth 48 star flag (Hawaii and Alaska became states in 1959) is very realistic. It came with a BLUE or PURPLE pennant with "LIONEL" in WHITE written on it.

The WHITE pole mounts in a TAN plastic base by means of two locking clips on the end of the pole. These clips are easily broken upon removal if care is not taken. The base has four GREEN foam bushes that are mounted at the corners. The bottom inscription reads:

PART NO. 89-3 THE LIONEL CORPORATION NEW YORK MADE IN U.S. OF AMERICA

This accessory is very difficult to find today with a box. The A Variation has the BLUE pennant and the B Variation has the PURPLE pennant.

Dimensions: 11 inches high, Base: 3-3/4 inches square.
