36 Star American Flag. Printed, not sewn, flag composed of seven red stripes and six white, with 36 white stars against a blue field. The dimensions are 23½ x 35½ in. The colors are somewhat faded and there are some scattered stains, most light except for the far left edge. Framed to an overall size of 25¾ x 37½ in.
On October 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the Union and promptly entered the war on the Union side. The state flag proudly bears the phrase "Battle Born." The next state to enter the Union would be Nebraska on March 1, 1867, so the 36-star flag was in use for less than 2½ years.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
