Antique Stars & Stripes.

Part of a superb collection of vintage flags which arrived here at the shop this afternoon, this 45 star version of the stars and stripes measuring an impressive 48" x 72". This was in use from 1896 when Utah became the 45th state until 1908 when Oklahoma became the 46th.
Others pictured here include 2 British mechant navy red ensigns measuring 50" x 92" and a third at 48" x 84", the French tricolour 72" x 84" and a huge red cross flag measuring 104" x 135".
