This is a set of 5 US flags with 48 stars, probably used as parade flags during the time the U.S. had 48 states (1912-1959). The sticks are 24 in long, the flags 12 in x 8 in. They will come rolled together in a mailing tube, since they're already used to being kept in that position in storage. They can probably be lightly ironed under a sheet of cotton to straighten the bends if you'd like. The coasters are there just to hold them flat.
