A Vintage Sewn 48 Star American Flag, Circa 1912-1959
Sold for: $120
Description
This American national flag is crafted from textile material, likely cotton, and features a blue canton with 48 white five-pointed stars arranged in six rows of eight. Thirteen alternating red and white horizontal stripes complete the design. The flag dates to the period between 1912 and 1959, corresponding to the 48-star configuration. The construction suggests a sewn assembly, consistent with vintage examples.

The flag is presented folded and exhibits significant creasing throughout. Visible signs of age and use include discoloration and staining, particularly on the white stripes. Fraying is apparent along the edges, notably on the top hoist side where red stitching is visible. There is general fading of the red and blue colors.
