Earlier this week, I posted about the sweet vintage Fighting Illini sweater and Austrian Moose creamer that I picked up at an Elmhurst Estate Sale and I mentioned that there was another item I bought that morning. Well...here it is. Scroll back up there and count the stars. That's right. There's just 48. Growing up, my Dad always flew a 48 star flag for some reason. I think he just thought it was cool. And...largely because of that, I think it is cool, too. This is the first one that I've come across in all my years of garage sale/estate sale-ing. Turns out....they're probably not *that* rare. The 48 star flag flew for 47 years (From 1912 to 1959) and up until then, was the longest 'serving' flag in our country's history . I have it proudly displayed at Equation Boy/Man's house for now, but once our new old farmhouse is built (gasp! Yeah! There is some news, there!!! I'll post the details at some point), it'll go great on
