Description
Here we have a very scarce & beautiful antique circa 1870s American Flag with 39 Stars. Excellent personality! This flag would be amazing framed up on the wall. Printed on cotton flag with a star count of 7-6-7-6-7-6. Measuring 16'' x 12'' There never was an official 39 star U.S. flag, as 39 star flags were made at two different times during the late 19th century. The first were made in 1876 in anticipation of the addition of two new states. Only one of these states, Colorado, was added on August 1st of that year, which brought the star count to 38. The Dakotas would not come for another 13 years, which meant that the 39 star flags made in this year were soon defunct. Thirteen years later, on November 2nd of 1889, the Dakotas came in as two different states (North & South), which forever rendered 39 star flags both inaccurate & unofficial. The cloth flag has wear, marks, tears etc. zoom up & notice the personality it has achieved that only adds to its charm. A truly wonderful rare piece with lots of history behind it & will be excellent in the collection & a family heirloom for many years to come. Vintage Flags are PERFECT decorations around the home to bring some vintage style!
