Description
This is an American National flag with 42 stars made to note the addition of Washington State into the Union circa 1891. Though this flag has 42 stars, it was considered "unofficial" as another state (Idaho) joined the Union as the 43rd state just one day (July 3, 1890) before new statehood flags were made "official" (July 4th). Consequently, the 42 star flag representing Washington Statehood never became official, despite having a period of 243 days with 42 states. 49 x 36"
Condition
Toning and some staining. Fading to the colors.
