Description
Civil War: 13-Star Navy Flag.140" x 64" hand-sewn cotton flag dating from the Civil War period and likely used as a naval jack. The canton has a most unusual pattern of stars... a variation of the "Battle of Cowpens" pattern. The stars appear on both sides, facilitated by a cut-out for each star, such that it shows through. The canvas hoist has a rope insert and there are, in addition, three whipped grommets. There is a vertical stripe on the fly end, as well as seventeen horizontal stripes, both unusual features. No markings. The colors are vibrant. This is one of the most visually striking flags we have seen.
Condition: Delicate, with numerous rips and tears. Some very light stains, mentioned for accuracy only. Essentially intact.
