I have a collection of small metal flags that were made by Cruver Mfg, Chicago for Karl's Bread in Denver Colorado. They were a promotional item my Grandma collected with loafs of bread. My Mom and siblings played with them as children in Colorado and I played with them as a kid and so did my boys. I would like to know where to find more information on them and values. Many of the countries have changed names, flags, or affliations since they were printed around 1911 or 1912. Any help would be much appreciated.

I would suggest trying the following kind of search.

Metal Flags Cruver Mfg, Chicago - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Metal+Flags+Cruver+Mfg%2C+Chicago+&btnG=Search)

Do they look like the ones displayed on the following link?
