The 50 Year Heritage Commemorative Set also includes two historic 49 Star Silk Flags and two 49 Star flag tin lapel buttons. These flags and buttons are genuine, unsold 1950’s merchandise imported from Japan in the late 1950’s. The 49 star flag is one of the rarest of the U.S. Flags and commonly referred to as the Alaskan Heritage Flag. It was made and flown only in the year 1959.

The official US flag for the year is the flag flown on July 4th Independence Day. Alaska joined the Union in early 1959. Hawaii joined in August of the same year. That meant for one year only, the U.S. Flag had 49 stars. The flag makers and the people didn’t want a flag that everyone knew was going to be used for one year and then become obsolete. Consequently, not many flag companies made them and not many people bought them. They are rare! This US flag is now referred to by collectors and history buffs as the Alaskan Heritage Flag.
