    Description

    Presented is a hand-sewn 38-star American flag, dating circa 1876-1890. The 38 stars are all hand-cut and hand-sewn in a row arrangement.
    The light blue canton has five rows of alternating 8-star and 7-star counts. As the stars were cut and sewn by hand, there is a slight variation on both star size and the spacing between stars. A masterpiece of Centennial-era flag making, the flag design is completed with 13 alternating red and white stripes, to represent the 13 original colonies.
