A post-July4 pop quiz

I have a big American flag (I didn’t display it yesterday because I didn’t want it to get wet) with 45 stars.

Question: How old is it (at a minimum)?

Extra credit: Name the five missing states in order of admission.

Answers:

It's at least 107 years old. Oklahoma, the 46th state, was admitted in November of 1907. The other four missing states, in order, are New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii.

It belonged to my grandfather on my mother's side.
