Arizona and New Mexico Statehood Flag
48 Star American National Arizona and New Mexico Statehood Flag. Cotton linen, the canton featuring six staggered rows of eight stars, the white edge sewn on one side. A note verso reads "Early 48 Star/Rare/Staggard Star Pattern/Only used from 1912-1914." Arizona gained statehood on February 14, 1912. Printed on cotton. Notation on staff "Souvenir of St. Mary's Junior Dance January 29, 1938." This is the star count widely known to most Americans when they think of an "antique" flag. Because this is the flag that most grandparents and great grandparents would have seen from their youth, it is commonly found in estate sales and among the possessions of veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. President Taft's executive order of June 24, 1912, which standardized the canton of the stars on the flag to 6 even rows of 8 stars makes unusual star configurations relatively uncommon and often indicative of an early flag. 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" framed 15 1/2" x 17 1/4"
PERIOD: Early 20th Century
ORIGIN: Arizona, United States
SIZE: 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" framed 15 1/2" x 17 1/4"
