Item Details
Description
36-Star Grand Luminary Flag 

Cotton and wool, approx. 72 x 140 in., with 36 machine-sewn, double-appliqued cotton stars configured in the "Great Star" or "Grand Luminary" pattern on a wool canton. The fly consists of 13 machine-sewn, cotton stripes. A small patch with an indecipherable inked inscription, possibly a maker’s mark, is hand-stitched to the bottom white stripe, near the hoist end. Considering the large size of the flag, it was possibly made to be used as a Naval ensign. The 36-star flag became official on July 4, 1865 when Nevada was admitted to the Union. Ca 1865-1867.

A fine, Civil War-era flag featuring the rare “Grand Luminary” star pattern.
Condition

Blue canton has faded; some fraying along edges of flag as well as scattered holes, tears.
