USA First Stars and Stripes Flag Heritage Series by Valley Forge

This 3' x 5' cotton flag is part of the Heritage Series from Valley Forge. The hand-crafted nature and patented antiquing process have become new hallmarks. This product is constructed of carefully chosen American Cotton weaving, meticulously dyed, and accented with solid brass grommets.

Made in U.S.A.

Please Note: With the tea stained dying process, some areas might be darker than others. Each item is not the exact same. Also, the actual flag may be lighter or darker than what is pictured. These are mass-produced and the sizing may be a little off from the original size.

The first official American flag, known as "the Betsy Ross flag" is the most debated flag in American history. Adopted June 14, 1777 (later to become Flag Day), Continental Congress resolved, "that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation." Since Congress didn't specify dimensions, proportions, or size of the field or canton, an arrangement for the stars, or even the shape of the flag, there were many variations in American flags until 1912.
