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.

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?

Default Turkish?

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.
