Item Details
Description
This is a rare 39 star flag rendered in silk. The 39 star flag was never an official flag of the United States. However, during a brief period in 1889, flag makers attempting to anticipate future sales were expecting the Dakotas to be admitted to the Union together, as the 39th state. They were instead admitted as two, with the official United States flag going from 38 to 40 stars in one day. The already manufactured 39 star flags were therefore never put to official use. 24 1/2" x 14 1/2"
Condition
Scattered staining and abrasions to fabric as pictured. There are two small purple stamps in the fabric which appear to read RCwtn Burton.
