Lloyds shows a rectangular swallowtail with a small angled star near the top of the blue hoist band.
Griffin gives a tapered flag: the 1883 version has a larger, slightly angled star, while the 1895 star is upright.
Reed resembles the pamphlet with a small star, though it follows standard flag proportions.
This version comes from a State of Indiana passenger list dated 1884 by its seller, although the contributor could not read the date. Jan Mertens interprets S as the company initial and the colours and star as mixed British and American symbolism.
