38 Star Parade Flag
Antique 38 Star American Flag Parade Flag made of starched gauze. Also called a flag waver. This one could also be used as a lapel flag for a man or a hat flag for a women’s hat. Circa 1876 Flag Size:2″x2.75″ Frame Size:16″x19
Rare mis print flag. Should have been destroyed but someone saved it for you!.
Flag is in worn condition as shown in the images. The top row of of stars is missing, I assume it had 7 stars as 31 stars are showing. Very rare misprint of the strips below the canton. Also rare the top stripe is white. Unusual antique flag.
The thirty-eight star flag represents the addition of Colorado to the Union. Colorado was admitted on August 1st, 1876 and this flag became official on July 4th, 1877. Presidents Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, and Harrison all served under this flag. Colorado became known as the “Centennial State,” a result of becoming official just twenty-eight days after the centennial. The official star count for US flags in 1876 was the thirty-seven star flag. However, it was common for flag makers to produce anticipatory flags in advance of their official date, making the thirty-eight star flag—and for historical reasons, the thirteen star flag—the most common flags flown during the centennial celebrations.
The thirty-eight star flag was official until July 4th, 1890, the time at which the forty-three star flag became official and began to represent the inclusion of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, and Idaho to the Union.
