Help identifying burgee/ensign on brandy glass

[bristol-tkm]

Hi everyone,

We've been having bit of a clear out and have come across some brandy glasses with some enamelled flags on them. Being hand painted, they're not the clearest but wondering if anyone can help us identify them? I think they're probably dating back 50-60 years at least.






Many thanks

The top one looks very like the Royal Yacht Squadron burgee

+ 1 British Flags (United Kingdom) from The World Flag Database

The closest Google took me to the lower one was Dumbartonshire - but it could be to do with Jersey??

Perhaps a memento of a yacht race at the time??

Look like Guernsey and Jersey -ish to me

Thanks everyone. Looks like the flag from Endeavour having also found this photo. Some quite distant relatives did crew we believe on her so it would make sense. And think she was from the Royal Yacht Squadron. Lovely find.

If it is the burgee being flown from Endeavour, as shown in the picture, it could be a class burgee (Possible "J" Class in which case other J's might also have them.
