A unique and fabulous item, an original and historic 48-star flag of the United States of America from the 1930s signed by FDR on the fourth white horizontal stripe of the flag from its top, adjacent to the canton. The American flag measures an astounding 42 x 67," with a very bold signature of FDR in black ink, measuring a full 6 inches long and 1 inch high. The signature grades a "10." A very unique, historic, and patriotic FDR-related signed American flag, a truly one of a kind display.
