U.S. 42 Star Civil Flag.

Sub-collection: Star Spangled Banner Flag House

Unofficial 42 Star Civil U.S. Flag.
Officially there never was an authorized 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.
