based on photo

The flag of Nevada from 1905 to 1915 was being sold online. Based on the appearance of the flag (see photo), it appears that it might be from the time period.

1929 Flag

The 1929 design was altered in 1987 so the name "NEVADA" is placed under the star, not spaced all around it.
Motto of state is "BATTLE BORN" reflecting the formation of the state during the Civil War.
The background color on Nevada flags is officially "cobalt blue", best matched at RGB 0-51-153.

County Flags

"The County Flag Array came about as a result of the Nevada Centennial in 1964. It was the brainchild of the Music Director at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, Mr. Antonio Morelli. His suggestion was passed to the Chairman of the Nevada Centennial Commission Mr. Thomas C. Wilson. He requested that the county commissioners of all 17 Nevada counties consider adopting flags.

As a result all of Nevada's counties began to solicit designs from schools, local artists, and designers. All the counties adopted official flags in time for their display on Nevada Day 1964. On that day a U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard from the U.S. Navy Ammunition Depot at Hawthorne marched the new flags into the West portico of the capitol in Carson City and presented them to Governor Grant Sawyer in the name of the people of Nevada. Since then they have been used at the capitol building as well in numerous Nevada Day parades."

Governor's Flag

There are two flags of the Governor of Nevada, one military and the other civil. The military version was updated in 1991 when the specifications were created for the state flag in 1991.
James J. Ferrigan III, 17 April 2001

While official, the Governor's flag has apparently fallen into disuse as the Governor's office according to Jim doesn't even know that the flag exists.

According to the Nevada Legislative Manual (2013):

"At its 1967 Session, the Legislature of the State of Nevada adopted an official flag, which flies outside the Legislative Building whenever the Senate and Assembly are in session in accordance with NRS 218A.175. The flag was designed by the senior government class of Tonopah High School."

The flag has 17 stars for the 17 counties (including the county-equivalent of Carson City).
