Description :

Vintage 48-Star American Flag – Pre-1959 United States History

A genuine vintage 48-star American flag, representing the United States from 1912 to 1959, prior to the admission of Alaska and Hawaii. This flag carries deep historical significance, marking an era that spanned both World Wars, the Great Depression, and much of America’s mid-century rise.

Details:

  • Design: 48 stars arranged in six rows of eight

  • Era: 1912–1959 (official U.S. flag for 47 years)

  • Material: Likely cotton or cotton-blend fabric, common for mid-20th century flags

  • Condition: Shows expected wear and age, including light discoloration and small holes consistent with decades of storage and display. Colors remain vivid and stitching intact.

  • Measurements: Approx. 32" × 48" (2.5' × 4')

Why it’s special:
48-star flags hold a unique place in American history, having flown through WWI, WWII, and the early Cold War. Today, they are highly collectible for historians, patriotic displays, and vintage Americana décor.
