I'd bet that 49 star flag must be worth something I would think that would be a very rare flag....How long did we have 49 states? 8 months maybe? (Alaska was Jan 1959, I think Hawaii was Aug '59?)

I understand the Sunday Globe published a flag, too.  I dug out the flags 
that I had from the late 50s, one with 48 stars, one with 49, and one of 
the first 50-star flags after the admission of Hawaii.  I put the 50-star flag 
in my window, and the other two on doors inside.  I also dug out a flag 
lapel pin and a flag button, which I used to wear with peace symbols 
during the Vietnam war.  I put the lapel pin on my suit jacket.

But we've got to guard against flag-waving turning into jingoism.
