RARE 40 STAR MEDALLION PARADE FLAG.

RARE 40 STAR MEDALLION PARADE FLAG. This fine printed flag, which measures 11″ x 15″, is stenciled “POST 250 GAR”. The 40th star commemorated the state South Dakota. This flag has a very short official time of use because the 41st state, Montana, was admitted just six days later and since states were only recognized on flags on July 4th following their acceptance this 1889 period flag was never official. This rare flag is of a great size, has great esthetics and is the only flag of this configuration known. CONDITION: Good and sound overall. Scattered staining and soiling, as can be seen in photos. Printed hoist is about 50% separated and cracked, but all in all is sound and solid. 4-46540 JS53 (2,000-3,000)
