For a parade window hanging, or wall hanging, this 36 Star Flag inspired bunting is structure with a field of 6 x 6 stars at the very top. The remaining 8 and 1/2 ft are a 3-stripe pattern with the outer 2 being red and the center stripe being white. This bunting configuration is often seen as swag decoration around a large window or around a historical vignette, and something streaming from a window over a parade. The 36 Star Flag originated in 1865 with Nevada Statehood, although this pattern bunting can be found anytime between 1865 and 1900 as some manufacturers used prints or print patterns for parade and patriotic events. The stars are printed, and the entire bunting is printed on cotton. Colored stripes are individually printed, and machine stitched together.
Measurement: Overall 126" x 20" W; Star Field of 6 x 6 stars measures 24" x 20" W
Condition: Overall good condition. Some fading to canton (star field) and stripes as this bunting spent minor time outdoors to acquire this moderate fading.
