I doubt that a 47 star flag was even issued. There was a 49 star flag briefly and a postage stamp was even issued on July 4, 1959 to honor it:
Note seven rows of seven stars.

I own one too but don’t fly it. They aren’t that rare.

When I was in grammar school, all of the flags were 48 star flags. This was in the 1960s. Our city didn’t buy new flags very often.

I have several 48-star flags.
They came from the family over time. A couple were casket drapes from vet family members who died before the change.

Disgraceful! A flag that reminds the demented left of the times of segregation...
