This is a great vintage decorator US flag. It is 89 inches long by 24 inches wide. The first 48 star flag was flown for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union in 1912. This one is early. The Canton and stripes are on fine cotton and it is an extremely well made flag. I believe it was a maritime flag for vessels flying the US "colors". It was made by Fuller as indicated on the inward horizontal side. Wonderful piece to hang with Americana collections as it is so long. This flag, as shown, has a missing piece in the blue canton. and there is some staining, as illustrated, in the images. Shows great use and normal wear and the colors are bright but mellowed.
