Most likely it is a flag that was in use from 1907 to 1911. The 46th star was added to the US flag when Oklahoma became a state. In 1911 and 1912 Arizona and New Mexico became states and the 47th and 48th stars were added. The US flag stayed at 48 stars until Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the union becomming the 49th and 50th star on the flag

What was the size of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the battle of Baltimore?

The actual flag is in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Originally it was 30 feet top to bottom (the "hoist") and 40 feet long (the "fly"). The stars are about two (2) feet in diameter and each stripe is about two (2) feet wide. This is called a "garrison flag."
