Stars are sewn on double sided appears to be from late 1800 s??
The original stars on a 44 star flag were in a circle.
What age would this be??
Was told old ???
44 star is 1891 to 1896.
Typical pattern is 8-6-6-6-6-8 (stars) in rows.

Elisha Bayles lived from 1780 to 1851, so if the flag had 44 stars it wasn't his. See the chart at https://www.si.edu/spotlight/flag-day/flag-facts
