Up for sale is a genuine vintage 48-star United States flag, believed to date back to the 1940s era. This flag represents a historic period of American history, before Alaska and Hawaii became states (1959–1960).
The stars on this flag appear to be individually stitched/embroidered rather than printed, showing quality craftsmanship typical of mid-20th century production. The flag is mounted and framed, and due to its display condition, it has not been removed from the frame.
