Selling a beautiful, museum-quality antique 45-star American flag. This piece is exceptionally rare to find in such incredible condition, largely because it has been kept safely rolled in its original 63-inch wooden storage box.
The 45-star flag became the official United States flag in 1896 following the admission of Utah, and it remained official until 1908. This is a true piece of late-19th/early-20th-century history.
Because it has been protected from light and elements in its box (still retaining its protective brown paper wrapping), the silk material is incredibly vibrant. The deep blue and bright reds have not faded, and the heavy embroidery on the stars is immaculate.
This would look UNBELIEVABLE hung on the wall of the office, museum, or your home. The WOW factor is all there!
