Description

The listing, VERY OLD AMERICAN FLAG has ended.

Hello and thank you for visiting my listing.
The photo's does not do the justice, and this flag is old.
48 stars, so this tells me it was made before Alaska and Hawaii became states. So this means this flag is around 70 years old or older.
There are some holes in this flag and it just make it look even more cool.
The flag measures 32" X 58"
Good luck and happy bidding.

Questions & Comments

my dad has one of these 48 star flags that his father had given him. it is perfect condition. it is a little shorter than flags now days but my sister went and had it professionally folded like military and got a flag holder. my mom fixed it up so that my dads medals and a picture of him in is uniform was in the case. My dad served in the Korean war which was a few years before Alaska and Hawaii. Hawaii came in the year I was born in 1959.

Barbara, I think what you are thinking is different. They just set there highest bid and you have to out bid them to be the high bidder.

The last flag I bought was made in China. That is soooo wrong! Love this one.

I know, I don't understand why our government allows this.

To the person worried about "auto-bidding." I'm assuming you're referring to someone using a "Snipe" program, which will monitor an auction & place a winning bid (Snipe) in the last few seconds. To the best of my knowledge, there are no Snipe programs out there that work on this site, which is a good thing. Or you may be referring to "proxy bidding," which Listia does use. All that means is that a person places the HIGHEST amount they are willing to pay, then Listia will continue to raise their bid each time someone outbids them, until they reach their max bid. This applies to everyone, and isn't unfair in any way. It just means that if you bid 25,000 but no one else bids higher than 5,000, you'll win the item for 5,050 rather than having to spend the whole 25,000 that you were willing to bid. Long winded, but I hope this helps. Nice auction by the way!

Amen!!

Nov 2nd, 2014 at 4:11:07 AM PST by

Barbara there is no auto bidding! Someone who bid, bid with the maximum amount they would pay for it! And if you bid higher than that then you become the highest bidder!

Thank you for your help Ashley. :)

Omg i hate people who auto bid its not fair

Oct 22nd, 2014 at 5:36:48 AM PDT by

I didn't think they could do this on here.

Oct 22nd, 2014 at 1:29:41 PM PDT by

unfortunately our government has nothing to do with where a business owner manufactures their parts or product. I hold the business owner responsible for taking jobs out of country. I understand why, just wish it wasn't so. as consumers, its up to us to buy only "made in the USA" products. that's the only way the manufacturing sector will listen.

Nov 9th, 2014 at 7:22:12 AM PST by

You are so right, just wish the Gov. would stop letting them ship them here. And yes I do try to find things made in the USA only to buy, sadly there isn't much. I am a wood artist and my items don't even sell. From time to time I list an item on here. I have 2 items on Listia now. :)

Nov 9th, 2014 at 7:55:22 AM PST by

nice auction! it is very,very hard to find an original America flag! we have done put out three and the wind has torn them up bad! and you are so right the government shouldn,t allow our flag to be made in Mexico or China. I am a fan of yours but so I am watching. GOD BLESS THE USA!

Nov 5th, 2014 at 9:17:04 AM PST by

Thank you so much and will make sure I am your fan. :)

I know, it is horrible that our country would be humanitarians and allow things from other countries (Even though they do in fact celebrate our own country) to come in and be purchased. What are they thinking. Other people don't have to eat. Just us. God bless America, and not those other places.

Nov 9th, 2014 at 4:52:58 PM PST by

I'll let you know one thing, the majority of the world has absolutely zero to say about things made in the US being sold in their Country.

Nov 9th, 2014 at 4:54:23 PM PST by

You are so right!!

Nov 9th, 2014 at 5:02:31 PM PST by

Man o man there's gonna be a biddin war on this pretty flag! I'm in! Fanned, Bidding & Watching!

After 9-11 my city council went looking for flags and the only requirement was that they had to be made in the USA. Dozens of people got involved and we never a found a single one. They were all made in Mexico or China. We ended up printing flags in a full page ad in the newspaper for our citizens to tape in windows. They didn't last very long but it was the best we could do at the time. I love this auction!!!

Nov 2nd, 2014 at 3:28:13 AM PST by

I thought I saw a couple made in Mexico, I don't understand why our government would allow this. Thank you so much!!

Thank You for the opportunity to become the new proud owner of this awesome piece of our history !!!

Thank you so much!! Good luck and hope you win. :)

Oct 21st, 2014 at 9:39:20 AM PDT by

Oh and by the way the flag is a 3ft x 5ft. inches are never accurate as each one is cut and sewn different. Just an FYI!

Oct 29th, 2014 at 9:29:43 PM PDT by

Thank you so much!

Oct 30th, 2014 at 2:25:46 AM PDT by

Most US flags are still made in America, definitely not Mexico, LOL... I know I work in a Flag Store as a manager. We carry flags from the oldest US distributor out of NY! You are buying the cheapest printed flags if you have one that was made anywhere else and they're without the quality of the US made one's. Your flag is made of cotton and yes it's old. Like seeing people share our Old Glory with others. Great auction! Fanned!

I collect flags I have about 6 of these particular flag they were made late late 50s early 60s but like I said awesome piece

Oct 26th, 2014 at 5:21:48 PM PDT by

Thank you so much my friend!!

Oct 26th, 2014 at 5:35:58 PM PDT by

Flag is not that old if it was the stars would have been sewn on this flag is about 20 years old nice piece tho

Oct 26th, 2014 at 5:03:09 PM PDT by

You are right on one thing, but the 48 stars, meaning the last 2 state didn't become states in the 50's. This tell me how old this is. There are some flags out there now new with sewn on stars. They were both made in the 50's like today. Thank you for stopping by my friend.

Before nine eleven you'd be hard pressed to find an American flag. China seems to make a lot of them. This one looks like a genuine and authentic American artifact to me. Definitely watching here (8

Oct 21st, 2014 at 7:18:44 PM PDT by

Thank you so much my friend. :)

Oct 22nd, 2014 at 2:10:28 AM PDT by

I bet this was Made In America too !

Oct 21st, 2014 at 6:19:45 PM PDT by

You know I didn't think of that. I bet you are right. The new ones I think are made in Mexico.
