Description: The 48 star flag became the official flag of the United States on July 4th, 1912. The U.S. flag grew to 48 stars with the addition of two southwestern states: New Mexico (January 6th, 1912) and Arizona (February 14, 1912). For 47 years, the 48-star American flag flew longer than any other American flag, from 1912 to 1959.It lasted through two World Wars. A total of eight Presidents served under this flag; William H. Taft (1909-1913), Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), Warren Harding (1921-1923), Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929), Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945), Harry S.Truman (1945-1953), Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961). The 48 star flag changed to 49 stars on January 3rd, 1959. I remember that my Mother had this flag in about 1945-1950, so it is a minimum of 75 years old. I am not sure of it's history or when she originally obtained it.It is in Very Good condition, with some minor issues due to it's age. (see photos and condition description). It has been freshly laundered and ironed out very well. It would make a beautiful wall hanging for a library, favorite room or to fly.
