I think one of them is a replica, and the other was one of two that were made.

I don't get it, why would the Irish Historical Society in New York City get custody of the two flags that flew over the Dublin Post Office during the 1916 Easter Rising? Wouldn't you think that the Irish People would see these flags as valuable & cherished artifacts. I guess someone had enough bucks to purchase them form a "needy seller" JEEZ!!!!
