Pennants

Israel has no official pennant; as a matter of fact no pennants are really in any use in Israel.
However, in two stamps a device which could considered as a pennant included
in a stamp, and one of them, even together with a stylized USA "pennant"
The first "pennant" appeared on the 8th Independence day stamp which was
issued on April 12, 1956 and designed by: M. & G. Shamir.

The "pennant" is hoisted from a flagpole carrying the national emblem on its top.

The second "pennant" appeared on a stamp that was issued on June 23, 1977,
which commemorates the convention of the Zionist Organization in America.

This "pennant" is combined with a USA pennant making it the second time that a
USA flag appeared on Israeli stamp.
