Original U.S. Reconstruction Era 37-Star (1867-1877) Small Silk United States National Flag - 16 x 23 ½”

Original Item: Only One Available. On March 1st, 1867, Nebraska was officially recognized as the 37th State of the United States of America. That year, on July 4th, the 37 Star Flag was officially adopted as the national flag of the US. This flag remained in use for a period of 10 years until between July 4th 1867 and July 4th 1877, when Colorado joined the union, leading to the introduction of the 38 Star Flag.

The 37-star flags are a rare and desirable flag due to their limited production time and age. This particular United States National Flag is rather small, and made from silk, measuring roughly 16 x 23 ½”.

The flag has very heavy fraying across due to its fragile silk construction, with heavy ripping across. There is a lot of material which has become a mess in one corner. This flag would do best being framed immediately to preserve it for decades to come.

This is one of the most interesting early flags we have offered, and only the second 37-star example we’ve had.

A heavily frayed example, but original, and ready to frame and display in your collection.
