36-star flag after Nevada joined the United States on 31 October 1864, in the midst of the Civil War. Flag was made shortly thereafter, intended for waving during a parade. 36-star flag is configured with a ring of stars encircling the ''Great Luminary'' (stars configured in such a way that they resemble an even larger star) that surrounds the central star representing Nevada. Starched cotton flag is attached to a wooden staff measuring 7.25''. Flag itself measures 4'' x 2.5'', as wrapped around the staff. Light age discoloration and bottom of staff is splintered. Overall in very good plus condition.
