U.S. 42 Star Flag - Washington's Statehood.
Sub-collection: U.S. 42 Star FlagsU.S. 42 Star Flag - Unofficial.
Officially there never was an official 42 star flag. The 42-star flag was never used officially because 5 states were added in 1890 making 43 stars. Flag makers could never be sure which states would be added and made some 42 star flags just in case.
