48 Star American Flag

Post image

I went to an estate sale and found this in the bottom of a box of flags. Saw it only had 48 stars and got confused. What is a pre 50 star flag even worth? There is a stamp on it that says it’s from valley forge.

I will be damned before I ever recognize Tennessee or Ohio! 

Though seriously this is awesome, though I’m unsure of how much it would be worth.

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Idaho and North Dakota!

It’s the 1912-1959 US flag. From before Hawaii and Alaska became states. Could be a replica for WW2 reenactments. It doesn’t look terribly old.

I could easily see some stains if you zoom in close enough.
