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.

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.
