Kids today all know that they have flags when dancing on Simchas Torah.
How, when, where, and/or why did the flags originate? (Someone decided it was fun, and then it caught on?) What pictures were on the original flags?

From Nitei Gavriel Succos 94:11:14 it seems to be a more recent Minhag.
Wikipedia says it started in the 1700s, and the first flag said on it כי מציון תצא תורה ודבר ה' מירושלים - no source!
