Original Antique Silk 35 Star Civil War Flag

Description

I bought this Original 35 Star Printed Silk Flag folded up in a shoe box about 25 years ago. It has seen better days but could look better. The measurements are approx. 43 inches high X 54 inches long. There are some holes and fraying but very little actual loss. The leading edge is a heavy cotton wove strip. Study the photos as they tell the story better than I can convey it. Shipped un framed and folded up.
The 35 star flag was only used for two years, 1863-1865, and served only two presidents, Lincoln and Johnson. Introduced on July 4th 1863 it also commemorates the Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. This is a rare flag that is the most Civil War of Civil War Flags.
