IMMACULATE “GREAT STAR” PATTERN 31 STAR AMERICAN FLAG.

IMMACULATE “GREAT STAR” PATTERN 31 STAR AMERICAN FLAG. An extremely nice, early, American flag in a very displayable size measuring 68” X 43” with great color and a rare star pattern in the canton. This 31 star flag dates to the accession of California into the Union and was authorized from July 4, 1851 to July 3, 1858. Its rarity is enhanced by the short time this flag was in use. In addition to it’s pre-Civil War vintage, this flag displays its stars arranged in the “Great Star” pattern. A total of 28 white cotton 5-point stars are arranged in a large 5-point star pattern in the center of the canton with 4 additional stars positioned near the corners of the canton for a total of 31 stars all the same size. The flag itself is delicately made of light cotton material, dyed red, white and blue and put together with a combination of machine and hand stitching. There are 13 red and white stripes and a light cotton thread-like tie on the hoist. It is obvious from its construction that this flag was designed and made as a banner for inside use. Its light construction and lack of a reinforced hoist would never stand up to a strong wind. In excellent condition, this pre-Civil War flag is in a desirable size for display. CONDITION: Very good. All colors remain bright. Little or no wear to the edges or any sort of damage other than a few very minor holes scattered throughout. 4-30319 CW7 (3,000-4,000)
