CIVIL WAR 33-STAR FLAG
CIVIL WAR 33-STAR FLAG. 56” x 8’ flag of unusual construction. Made with cotton and blended wool/cotton panels. Cotton stars form a “tombstone” in the canton when displayed vertically as was done during the Civil War era. Above the “tombstone” are 2 additional stars. The 32nd & 33rd stars are hand-sewn with perimeter stitches around every star, whereas stars 1-31 are simply backstitched on. A small cloth tag sewn to flag near hoist reads in old brown ink, “Jacob M. Keech, Roxborough, 1864”. A most unusual and pleasing Civil War flag. CONDITION: Overall good with good colors. 4-54121 JS103 (3,000-5,000)
