48 Star Flag from American Flag Manufacturing Company... info?
Hello everyone, I'm brand new to the forums and wanted to start off with a question about a flag in hopes that someone will have some helpful info for me.
I found a flag (I believe it's all cotton) with 48 stars that has two labels sewn into the part
that the flag hangs from. One of the labels says: Moth Proof which I guess
is easy enough to understand. The second one says American Flag
Manufacturing Company, Easton PA. I've searched quite a lot on the web for
information on this company but have only been able to find out unconfirmed
information that it closed around 1930.
Does anyone know any information about this company?
Does it make this flag more valuable?
It has the name of a church stamped on the same part of the flag.
Thanks for any information!

Re: 48 Star Flag from American Flag Manufacturing Company... info?
Hi Driven,
Is it possible to post a few photos of the flag and one with the label? I would say it could only help but with so many 48 star flags still out there unless there is some special history attached to it 48 star flags don't usually pull in the big bucks like an 39 star (rare) or earlier flag. What will dictate its value more than anything is the condition of the flag. If you need help posting your photos let me know and I will be glad to help. We would love to see your flag in any case. I wish I could help you with information concerning the flag manufacturer.
Warmest regards,
Mike
