35-Star Philadelphia Circle Design United States Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Patriotic Banner from 1863

The 35-Star Philadelphia Circle Design United States Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag represents one of the most graceful Union patterns from 1863 to 1865, celebrating the addition of West Virginia as the nation’s 35th state. Its elegant circle of stars reflected the artistic precision of Philadelphia’s flag makers, who crafted banners for regiments, civic processions, and patriotic gatherings during the war. This circular arrangement symbolized unity, continuity, and the unbroken strength of the Republic amid conflict.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

The Philadelphia Circle design features a broad outer ring of stars surrounding an inner crescent near the canton’s center. The circular shape was more than decorative—it expressed the idea of eternal Union and the hope that freedom would prevail. Flags of this style were often produced by Northern workshops in Pennsylvania, a state deeply committed to the Union cause. This reproduction faithfully recreates the proportions, star spacing, and craftsmanship that characterized these 19th-century originals.
