An authentic vintage 48-star United States flag measuring approximately 46.25 inches by 74 inches, representing one of the most historically significant eras in American history.
Officially adopted in 1912 following the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to the Union, the 48-star American flag remained the official U.S. flag through 1959. It flew during both World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Korean War, making it an enduring symbol of 20th-century American history and patriotism.
This classic example features individually embroidered/appliquéd white stars arranged in the traditional 6 x 8 configuration along with fully sewn red and white stripes — details associated with higher quality craftsmanship and durability. Constructed from heavy cotton bunting, the flag retains its original canvas hoist and solid brass grommets.
The large scale gives the flag exceptional display presence, making it ideal for Americana interiors, patriotic collections, military displays, historical décor, offices, libraries, cabins, or framed wall presentation.
Its honest vintage wear and age-related character give the piece warmth, authenticity, and strong visual appeal that newer reproductions simply cannot replicate.

Americana and patriotic collections

The flag shows authentic signs of age and use including a few small moth holes, light discoloration or patina to portions of the white stripes, minor fabric wear, fading, and other age-related imperfections consistent with vintage textile use and storage. These characteristics are typical of authentic period American flags and contribute to the historical authenticity and visual charm of the piece. The canvas hoist, brass grommets, stitching, and overall structure remain intact and functional. The flag displays very well with pleasing vintage character and honest wear appropriate to its age. Please note that vintage and antique textiles are not manufactured to modern precision standards and may show variations in stitching, coloration, fabric texture, fading, or minor irregularities from age and historical use. Overall, this is a highly decorative and well-preserved authentic American flag with excellent patriotic display appeal and strong historical presence. less
