Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 10:32 pm This is the original envelope in which it came - Alaska was granted statehood on January 3, 1959. Hawaii wasn't admitted until August 21. Thus, from July 4, 1959 up to July 4, 1960, the U.S. had a 49 star flag. I actually have a vintage example of this one year flag, but on the whole they're not easy to come by. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 01:00 am I have one but not the paper envelope. I had mine given to me in 1984 when a friend came back from Alaska fishing for Halibut and Salmon. Still looks like new and that was a long time ago already. Mind if I copy your envelope images for my personal info? Report this Post to the Staff

That they were actually gold plated would contribute a great deal to their preservation. Quote: Mind if I copy your envelope images for my personal info? Not in the least. I post here mainly for general education purposes and assert no copyright protection. I actually picked up three of these yesterday in their envelopes - the other two were (and remain) still sealed, while the one pictured here had been already opened.
