This large, vintage wool, 48 star, WWII, 70"x47" American flag was passed down from my relative, who died in 1987.  He was retired US military with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and is buried at a military cemetery in Illinois.

The flag is in good used condition, given its advanced age, having been stored for many decades in a smoke-free and pet-free home.  There is some staining from the years.  It is approximately 80 years old and is wool.

The stars are individually stitched on, as are the stripes.  It has brass grommets.
