United States // 34 Star Flag / BF Almy
A named 34*-Star Flag With Hand-Appliqued Stars This 34*-star flag is hand-sewn and measures approximately 50" on the hoist and 100" on the fly.
Made of red, white and blue bunting, this 34-star pattern was used from 1863 to1865 and was the type most seen during the American Civil War.
The hand-appliqued stars of this flag are unique and have a twinkling appearance, with blue borders and white thread used to stitch them into the 45" x 26" blue bunting canton. There have been approximately 4" of the end of the fly sewn back onto itself in an apparent effort to make the flag shorter for display purposes. The flag has general fading of the colors.
On the hoist there is a tag with bears the words 'B. F. Almy'. The flag is in good condition overall and makes a fine display piece of a wartime flag.
