Description
Offered in this lot is a Rare Antique Thirty-Eight (38) Star United States of America Flag circa 1877 to 1890. The 38 star flag became official on July 4, 1877 with the admission of Colorado to statehood on August 1, 1876 and continued as the official United States flag for 13 years. The five Presidents to serve under this flag were; Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881), James A. Garfield (1881), Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885), Grover Cleveland (1885-1889), and Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893). The stars are in a 8-7-8-7-8 row configuration. Technological innovation, economic growth, development of large-scale agriculture, and the expansion of the federal government characterized the era, as did the social tensions brought about by immigration, financial turmoil, federal Indian policy, and increasing demands for rights by workers, women, and minorities. Most of this era encompassed the Gilded Age, which was sandwiched between the Reconstruction and Progressive eras. This is a Great looking vintage 38 star USA flag likely displayed vertically as seven (7) small circular weights were sewn on the bottom hem edge. Material appears to be muslin. Flag is in amazingly good condition overall. Some tears, moth damage and staining noted, one of the bottom hem weights is missing. Measures 50.5" x 106"L
