No description? Okay, then: It is a ~2:3 (Old Glory) blue over white
horizontal bicolor with a large white disc centered on it filled with
what looks like the town seal, also in (Old Glory) blue and white.

The town seal shows the likeness of Archimedes (a canting element)
against a backdrop of stylized blue waves and white sky; on the seal
rim the words "Town of Eureka" across the top, set in serifless
grotesk capitals, and "a posse ad esse" (latin for "from possibility
to being") along the bottom, set in script cursive letters, separated
by two laurel branches; the whole encircled in thick ropework.

The actual flag, as shown for auction, has the sleas sewn in slightly
rotated, about three degrees clockwise, and with its shade of blue
slightly off.

Resized and cleanup, and attached as <!us-erka.gif>.
