Description
1) Huge 48 star woven United States Flag (in use 1912-1959). Measuring approximately 139” x 82” (11’7” x 6’10”), this would be an impressive sight to see waving high above, or in this phase of its existence, on a wall and properly supported. It has had several period repairs made to it, looking to extend its useful life. There are noticeable holes, tears and discolorations in the fabric showing its use. Could have been flown as early as 1912 and as late as 1959.
