Original Civil War Era 33 Star Flag Stars Clustered Around Larger Center Star:
$2194.00

This sale is for an Original Civil War Era 33 Star Flag. The 33 Stars are Clustered Around a Larger Center Star (suggesting the Union?) The cloth appears to be linen with painted on stripes and stars (although a few of the stars do have what appear to be tiny stitches).This may be a home made patriotic flag. There is one hole and approx. a 3.25 inch split above the lowest stripe; left side. The flag is faded and has stains, as would be expected. The name on the flag is written in pencil. I have no idea who this person is. The flag is in overall Very Good condition.Insurance will be included in the shipping cost.

  1. \"Flags of the American Civil War period are among the most sought after of all American flags. Prior to the Civil War, Americans rarely displayed the flag for personal use. Consequently, flags with star counts of 33 or fewer are very scarce. The events of the Civil War, starting even prior to the commencement of the war with the introduction of Kansas into the Union as the 34th state and the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, marked a turning point in both the surge of patriotism and the production and display of the American flag.
    1. Civil War Star Counts

    Traditionally, Americans begin producing flags of a given star count as soon as the new state enters the Union. Officially, though, the star count on flags is adopted on the 4th of July, based on how many states are in the Union on the 4th. This leads to some debate as to what constitutes a \"Civil War\" flag. As a collector, I personally consider Civil War Era flags to be those of 33, 34, 35 and 36 stars. Of the four counts, the only one that falls unambiguously into the Civil War military period is 35 stars. Thirty-three star flags were official during the start of the Civil War, but 34 stars were predominantly produced because of the introduction of Kansas ten weeks prior to the outset of open hostilities at Fort Sumter. Typically, 33 star flags are associated with the election of Abraham Lincoln, a star count found on many political parade flags of the era relating to the Lincoln-Hamlin ticket in the 1860 Election. Although Nevada became the 36th state nearly 6 months prior to the surrender at Appomattox, the star count did not become official until July 4, 1865, nearly 3 months after surrender. Therefore, while 36 star flags were certainly produced during the war, it\'s not possible, unless a flag is positively dated in writing or documentation, to place its creation during the military period of the war. Still, flags of 36 stars also represent the beginning of reconstruction and national healing that immediately followed the end of the war.\"

I have had three requests to do a Buy It Now. While tempting, I\'m hesitant to accept any of the offers because there is so much interest in the flag. I can\'t morally or ethically pick one person over another or cutout the current buyers and deny them a chance to purchase it. The other dilemma I\'m facing is that I obviously misunderstood the value of the flag. It appears to be more rare and more historically important that I first thought. I had thought about pulling it and donating it to a Civil War collection in a museum, but, again, which museum? So, I\'ll let the sale ride the seven days and let the buyers/buyers decide who gets it. I\'m sure it will end up in the hands of someone who will appreciate it, care for it and hopefully share it with others who have an interest in its historical importance. Thank you.

I counted 33 stars, not including the big one in the middle, as stated in my description. I thought the big one might be symbolic; representing the Union of the 33 states. If counted as a state, there are 34 stars. Ihave since learned from one source, thebig one represents the admission of Kansas, so that wouldmean it is a 34 states-34 stars flag.
