Rare 1908-1912 US 46 Star Flag 4' x 7' - No Reserve

Up for auction is a very rare United States flag with 46 stars from the period 1908 - 1912 (after Oklahoma). It is just under 4' x 7' in size.

It has definitely been flown as it is threadbare in a number of areas. There is a small tear in the corner above the stars. But it has been stored well and is in good overall condition. I've photographed some of the threadbare areas. The photographs also give you a good idea of the color as compared to a pure white muslin backdrop.
