<B>A Flag of the 7th New York Infantry</B></I> This is a hand-sewn 36-star, 13 stripe Union flag of the 7th New York Infantry which mustered into service about the time that Nevada, the 36th state was added to the Union. They took part in the Siege of Petersburg and fought at Deep Bottom and Hatcher's Run. They mustered out of service at Hart's Island, New York in August 1865.<BR> This 36-star pattern was not the officially adopted pattern which came into use only in July 1865. This pattern consists of 6 rows of 6 stars hand-appliqued on a blue 30" x 22" canton. They are applied only on one side with the opposite blue canton cut out to reveal the star. The flag measures 81" at the fly and 45" at the hoist which is stenciled '7th New York' in period ink. The material is wool bunting and cotton stars with brass loops at each end of the hoist for attachment to a staff. The flag is in overall good condition with two holes at the bottom center. <BR> <B>Provenance: The Crow Art Partnership Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
