TWELVE STAR CIVIL WAR ERA FLAG.

45.5″ X 67″. Flag is all hand sewn with 12 4-1/2″ double applique cotton stars in 3 rows of 4. Stars are sewn onto a blue canton made from three pieces of single ply wool bunting, with two pieces being 10″ wide. Thirteen red and white stripes are all hand sewn with a cord edge on top and bottom. Hoist is made from folded linen forming 1-1/2″ wide hoist with two hand whipped eyelets. The purpose for twelve star flags is debatable since this flag is consistent with other Civil war era early war flags as far as materials and thread. It is possible this is an exclusionary flag of sorts possibly representing 12 Southern states. Regardless, this is a beautiful, very displayable flag in great condition. Found 20 years ago in a Connecticut estate. CONDITION: Very good overall. Some soiling, excellent colors as can be seen in photo. 4-50981 JS54 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2286

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
