RARE HALOED CIVIL WAR 35 STAR FLAG.

RARE HALOED CIVIL WAR 35 STAR FLAG. 35 star flags are relatively scarce even though they were official for two years from 1863 to 1865. The 35th state was West Virginia which officially became part of the Union on July 4, 1863. This printed parade flag which measures 20″ x 27″ is rarely seen and this is a fine example, as can be seen in photos. The 36 star haloed patterns are scarce but not rare like this flag which must have been pattern for the 36 star “BATTLE BURN” flags of 1865. This flag is a great size and has a wonderful canton with the central large 3-1/4″ “haloed” star surrounded by two circles of stars and then four additional stars in each corner. CONDITION: Flag is overall in very good condition with some staining, soiling and a few tears, as can be seen in photos. 46541 JS63 (4,000-6,000)
