This is a most interesting flag that only remnants remain as seen in photographs. It is quite possibly 13th Wisconsin but not definitive, it is however little doubt a Civil War Regimental color. Canton is two layer with double appliqué bullion and sequin stars and the number “13” as a central device. The numbers measure 6 ½ inches and stars measure 2 ¾” and circle. The canton measures about 30 inches in height and 39 inches in length. Flag originally measured about 60 inches on hoist and unknown length on fly. Remnants measure about 80 inches in length total now. Accompanying this flag is some history of Cpl. Charles W Bailey who served in a couple Wisconsin regiments but not the 13th. A little more research may ascertain the identity of this flag. SIZE: PROVENANCE: Family descent of Corporal Charles W. Bailey, Alexander Auctions lot 785, Sept. 11, 2013. From the personal estate collection of John W. Armiger, JR. CONDITION: only 40 or 50% of silk remains as can be seen in photographs, bullion stars and “13” are sound and complete however. Remaining silk in stripes is quite fragile and brittle. Remaining silk in canton is more supple but still fragile with numerous tears and reductions. 49055-223 JS (2,000-3,000)
