Because New Mexico became the 47th state on January 6th, 1912, followed by Arizona on February 14th, the 47 star count never became official and was accurate for a mere 38 days.

Stars were thus added for the 47th and 48th states on July 4th, 1912, and 48 would remain the official star count until 1959, when Alaska joined the Union. Despite the unofficial status and the narrow window in which we had 47 states, some commercial flag-makers did produce 47 star flags...
