U.S. 42 Star Flag - Unofficial.
Sub-collection: Mastai - Early American 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.
