13 STAR – 9 STRIPE AMERICAN FLAG.

Revised: 10/12/2013

Flag is actually 13 stars not 15 stars as described.

13 STAR – 9 STRIPE AMERICAN FLAG. This most unusual, Civil War era, flag made with canton resting on red “war stripe” appears to have been made by several different people (maybe students) as there are several different hand stitches and two different machine stitches and different threads and fabrics used on flag. All materials appear consistent with materials available during the Civil War. Canton and top 8 stripes are all single ply bunting. Bottom stripe is cotton, as are the stars which are sewn only on one side of flag. Hoist is light weight linen. Canton appears to have been made separately and applied. Flag does not appear to have been finished, but displays well from finished side and that could have been the way it was made to display as a banner. Regardless, this is a beautiful small, 36″ x 58″, American flag in an unusual configuration and we have never seen another. CONDITION: Flag is very good overall with scattered areas of mothing over much of its surface. Colors are excellent, as can be seen in photos. 4-48829 JS51 (6,000-8,000)
