The actual flag flying during the battle & inspiring Mr. Key is extant, and is made of cloth. Wool bunting from England for stripes and union and appliqued white cotton stars. <http://www.si.edu/resource/Faq/nmah/starflag.htm> There's been a major re-conservation of the flag (1998-2005), which the Smithsonian did right behind a big window, installed for the purpose, so visitors to the museum could watch the conservators at work, and see the flag.
