Description

AMERICAN REGIMENTAL CIVIL WAR FLAG - 'GREAT STAR' PATTERN ON ORIGINAL "SPEAR-POINT STAFF" 69 inches high x 92 inches wide

With the admission of Kansas to the Union in January 29, 1861, the American flag included 34 stars at the outbreak of the Civil War. This regimental sized flag dates from the start of the war with the star pattern in the popular and attractive 'Great Star' pattern in the blue canton. With thirteen stripes in the red and white field, this pattern is highly desired among flag collectors for its folk art appeal.

Measuring 69 inches at the hoist and 92 inches at the fly, nine inches of the flag's fly have been turned back and re-sewn toward the hoist. Made of wool bunting, the blue canton has a three inch hole as does the field. With a period spear point staff to which the flag is attached through its hoist with a coarse rope halyard, the hand sewn flag dates to the period of 1861 to July 4, 1863 when West Virginia was admitted to the Union.

Provenance: Crow Art Partnership Collection Dallas, Texas.

This flag has been carefully examined by authoritative in-house experts and has been deemed to be authentic and of the period in every respect including fabric, thread, dye and the method and pattern of construction. Additionally, any accompanying provenance has been verified as unique and indigenous to the specific flag it documents.
