Rare United States 43 Star Flag
<B>Rare United States 43 Star Flag.</B></I> The 43 star American flag was only flown from 1890 to 1891. This example measures about 4'4" x 7'6". The flag is of multi-piece wool construction with screened on stars. There are three brass grommets in the hoist end for facilitating raising and lowering the flag. There are a few small holes in the body of the flag, moderate tattering at the fly end, and a few small repairs, else very good condition. In 1890, five states were added representing Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington. Flags from this period are quite uncommon due to their limited effective life.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
