45 star American national flag, made in the period between 1896 and 1907 after Utah became an official state of the United States. The 45 star flag was generally used from that year until 1907, when Oklahoma joined the Union. Due to the Spanish-American War (1898) and Teddy Roosevelt’s famous world tour of the 'White Fleet', this was an extremely patriotic period.Made/Created
