This item is a 1896-1907 45-star American Flag. The 45-star flag was adopted on January 4th, 1896 when Utah was granted admission into the union, and another star was to be added. The ornamental flag shows an 8-7-8-7-8 pattern, and is adorned with flowing gold colored fringe. The size and decoration of the flag indicate that it would have been used in a ceremonial setting. This flag was flown during the presidency of Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt, and was the star count during the Spanish-American war. The flag is in good original condition, with only slight scattered tears, and slight discoloring. The flag measures 73.25" x 77.25".
