36-Star U.S. Flag Cleveland & Hendricks Campaign.

36-Star U.S. Flag Cleveland & Hendricks Campaign, 1884.
This small printed cotton 36-star printed United States flag was made to commemorate the admission of Nevada in 1864. It was made official on 4 July 1965 and it was then rendered obsolete a scant two years later by the admission of Nebraska in 1867. Sufficient quantities of 36-star flags were available for years to come and often, like this example, were over-printed for political campaigns in the last third of the 19th century.
See ZFC2495 for another example.

Cleveland and Hendricks were the 1884 successful Republican candidates for the offices of President and Vice President respectively.
