Hello all, just thought I'd share one of my newest pickups. Found an 1890 dated 43 star American flag at the local antique store. Pretty faded but I'd say it's good condition for the age. It seems to be made of almost a cheesecloth material.

Very cool flag, hard to find flags that are this early but I do believe it is a 42 star flag.

My mistake, it is a 42 star flag.

Very cool, I did a little looking and the 42 star flag was never official and the US only had 42 states for a matter of 243 days
