Found a cool item the other day, I'm wondering if it may be something special or just an interesting pick.
There isn't a tag/company name on the flag. There is a hand written name that looks like GW Miller. There are 2 holes for hanging. It measures approx. 11ft x 6ft. There's 45 stars, the fabric behind 1 star in the corner is a darker blue (looks like it may have been patched)
I've been asking around some, and told the other pieces are bunting. The stars with red and white stripes is 1 piece and measures approx 32ft x 2ft 8in. The background of the stars is a bluish/grey. I believe it was blue at one time, but very faded now.
The red/white/blue is in 2 pieces. Measuring 25ft and 9ft long x ~21in
The 45 star flag was used between 1896-1907
GW Miller was the Secretary of the Treasury, under Carter.
I'm wondering if Miller has any link to the flag and where a flag of this size would be used.
