Title: Look what I found. Pre-WWI 46 Star Flag Post by: pekv2 on June 04, 2013, 01:10:53 PM I went into the crawl space looking for a mini coffee maker, I found it but on the way, I opened another box and found a Pre-WWI 46 star flag in great condition.
Pretty cool. Title: Re: Look what I found Post by: pekv2 on June 04, 2013, 01:33:21 PM yeah pretty cool. too bad it is not being sold for btc. god i hate paypal. Well, I put up a link to show the general idea what it looks like. I should change it to a google image link, and will. Btw, this thing is huge. 7-8 feet tall, maybe even more. Title: Re: Look what I found Post by: pekv2 on June 04, 2013, 01:48:19 PM Oh if you have real photos and sell for btc im interested. Nope, sorries. Has name written on it, from my fathers side. This is the type of fabric it's made out of. http://historicalamericana.com/images/uploaded/10312D-20121215155701_1.jpg and does not look like the 46 star flag in this link, which in the link has gold finger fine threads. http://www.rareflags.com/RareFlags_Collecting_RareCounts.htm Here we go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Historical_progression_of_designs The scent of it, is remarkable. Has that old smell to it. Edit: I'm just ecstatic. Don't really come across something like this very often, just wanted to share. Title: Re: Look what I found. WWI 46 Star Flag Post by: RoadToHell on June 04, 2013, 05:20:05 PM fyi - 46 stars would make it pre-WWI. Oklahoma was the 46th state in 1907. New Mexico and Arizona were added as the 47th and 48th states in 1912.

I didn't even know when WWI happened till I wiki'd it. Learned a little history lesson by this. WWI 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. 46 star flag 1907/July 4, 1908 – July 3, 1912. hm, thanks. Edit: Very interesting. |
