ANTIQUE 42 STAR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FLAG, 23" X 18" (UNOFFICIAL). For Sale

This listing is for a vintage, 42 star UNITED STATES OF AMERICA flag (cloth, muslin?). For 243 days, the United States had 42 states, but just one day before Washington State's 42 would have become official, on July 3, 1890, Idaho entered the Union as the 43rd state. Consequently, the 42 star flag representing Washington Statehood never became official, despite having a period of 243 days with 42 states. Flag manufacturers often disregarded the "official" star count, and produced flags and sold flags that were current regardless of the official national star count. The cloth flag has uneven rough top edging and some bleeding of red color with a few spots of discoloration, It has a large hole as seen in the photos and some tiny ones as well. Will display great framed. This is original period item. Not a reproduction.(please pay close attention to photos for best description of condition, thank you), flag measures approx. 23" BY 18".When item is packed SECURELY for shipping, the weight is10 ounces.(23174)
