Lieff, the Development Manager from Science East, has been preparing the attic space in the building for an office and while cleaning found the remnant of an American flag under the floor boards. She sent me a few pictures and asked if I knew how old the flag remnant was. I’m not an expert on American flags but thought that some of our blog followers might be able to assist us.
Do you know how old this American flag is?
Another good question is, why was this flag remnant stored underneath the attic floor boards?

Thank you for your feedback!
Without viewing in person, the stacking of stars in 6 even rows would indicate the 48-star flag used from 1912 to 1959.
often old materials were used for insulation so maybe that is why it was under the floors?
