King's African Rifles - Colonel's Color 1900-ish |
 |
| One of, eventually, 3 KAR standards constructed by club members. This one began as a Warflag British Napoleonic colonel's color with the central device removed. Then one of the, several, KAR devices was superimposed in the center. |

King's African Rifles - Modern Reconstruction |
 |
| Discovered on an Internet website specializing in flags. It's either a modern reconstruction (and by that we mean guess) as to what the standard carried by KAR troops from the area of modern Kenya might have looked like, or it's a real flag used in the early 1950's by KAR units in that same area. I think that the lion is posed 'sergeant' and not 'rampant' because he's looking at the viewer and is not in profile. |

Sign: Lung Tain General Merchandise |
 |
| Lung Tain was an actual Chinese businessman who ran a dry goods empire in Mexico from the 1880's until the Mexican Revolution. There is, of course, no guarantee that any of his signs actually looked like this. |

Sign: Phelps Dodge |
 |
| Phelps Dodge was the largest US mining company in the southwest, on both sides of the border, from 1880 to 1920. Again, there is no guarantee that any of their signs looked remotely like this. |
