Summary
| Description |
English: Comments from "Heritage Auctions": "Civil War: 13-Star Navy Flag. 140" x 64" hand-sewn cotton flag dating from the Civil War period [1861-1865] 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 [red] stripe on the fly end, as well as seventeen horizontal stripes, both unusual features." .[note: the vertical red stripe on the fly end was probably placed there to reinforce and prevent the fraying of the fly end.] Photo credit: Heritage Auctions
