31 Star Flag “Great Star” Pattern
I know last time I posted an American Flag I said that I wouldn’t, but I got stuck on that site and just came across this auction that even has me excited, rhetorically speaking at least. There is a ton of really interesting information on the auction site, which is definitely worth reading and here is a little snippet from the site: “31 star American national parade flag, printed on glazed cotton. California became the 31st state in 1850, ushered in on the heels of the 1849 Gold Rush. The 31 star flag became official on July 4th, 1851, and remained so until July 3rd, 1858. Flags made prior to the Civil War are extremely rare, comprising less than one percent of 19th century flags that exist in the 21st century.”
