fyi - 46 stars would make it pre-WWI.  Oklahoma was the 46th state in 1907.  New Mexico and Arizona were added as the 47th and 48th states in 1912.

Wow. Fixed the title. I didn't even know when WWI happened till I wiki'd it. Learned a little history lesson by this. WWI 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. 46 star flag 1907/July 4, 1908 – July 3, 1912.

hm, thanks.

Edit:
Very interesting.

Oh if you have real photos and sell for btc im interested.

Nope, sorries. Has name written on it, from my fathers side.

This is the type of fabric it's made out of.

and does not look like the 46 star flag in this link, which in the link has gold finger fine threads.

The scent of it, is remarkable. Has that old smell to it.

Edit:
I'm just ecstatic. Don't really come across something like this very often, just wanted to share.

Well, I put up a link to show the general idea what it looks like. I should change it to a google image link, and will.

Btw, this thing is huge. 7-8 feet tall, maybe even more.

I went into the crawl space looking for a mini coffee maker, I found it but on the way, I opened another box and found a Pre-WWI 46 star flag in great condition.

Pretty cool.
