| Lee, Thanks for the kudos! The flag you saw was probably just a decoration. There's never been an official nine-star flag because there have never been only nine states. If anyone else knows a secret meaning behind this, let us know, but I think it was just a lazy artist. Sarah

| Although there was never an official nine star flag, a small number of 7, 8 and 9 star Star and Stripes flags were made during the Civil War. Jeff Bridgeman has a couple on his website. Rob L

| Would you know anything about a very small old collar button with 9 stars, no maker's mark, looks like copper with enamel red, white and blue?

| Based on Ayln's user name, I'll guess that he/she is from Istanbul, Turkey. By the way, Turkey has a beautiful flag -- we flew it last Saturday for Ataturk Youth and Sports Day. The name of this Turkish holiday is somewhat misleading. It actually commemorates the start of the Turkish War of Independence in 1919. Peter Ansoff

| A 9 Star flag does indeed exist since I have one in my collection. New Hampshire was the 9th province to attain statehood in 1778. The 9 star flag was issued in 1878 to commerate the event. These flags are considered rare

| New Hampshire was the 9th province to attain statehood in 1778 New Hampshire actually ratified the Constitution on 21 June 1788. This was an important milestone, because the Convention had specified that 9 ratifications were needed to bring the Constitution into effect. Of course, New Hampshire was a state long before the Constitution was ratified. The 13 colonies became states in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress. (Actually, it was more complicated than that, because a few of the states had individually declared independence from Britain before then.) Peter Ansoff
