No Flag

The city of Treasure Island has informed me that it does not have a flag.

Earlier report of flag

Treasure Island appears to be a case of a city which has forgotten its flag. Here on this article by the St. Petersburg Times, it is recorded that the first flag of Treasure Island apparently became the city flag after a donation to the municipal government by a "flag-conscious" resident named Warren A. Milne, who lived on the Paradise Island part of the city. The flag was in 3:5 ratio carrying the city seal, background color is navy blue with a gold fringe (not an integral part, of course). The first city flag was manufactured by Gordon Eager of Beaver Flags. A specific date for this flag is unknown, but based on the article's publishing, I think it can be fairly assumed that it gained official status in December 1958.

The city seal of course, is a bit unconventional. According to the article, it depicts a pirate landing on Treasure Island from a ship along with a chest of gold, and a starfish and palm tree in the setting. On the first flag, the city seal had seven colors.
