Israel 2016
Souvenir Leaf
Hatzerim Air Force Base
50 years
Even that I don't specialized in Israel stamps, and in Israel Souvenir Leafs, but this items take my attention because it is one interesting item from education point of view.
As text on this special folder, with souvenir leaf say, issue are made on Sept. 13, 2016, with special cancel used in silver, and numbered in black. I don't have any source to verify quantity printed, but this one sample have number 0145, mean, that very small quantity are made as I can estimate.
Probably more specialized and informed collectors of Israel stationary can inform us about quantity printed.
Why this specific souvenir leaf caught my attention?
As I mentioned before, at first, because education purpose.
This leaf, are well made in presentation pack, with one page explaining history of Hatzerim Air Base, which celebrate 50 years of existence.
Second, we have design, which is well made using photo of airplanes in Israel throughout history, commander of same base, Bible sentence and once nice design of cancel alone!
Regarding stamp, used in this item, I cannot say that it is best choice, as Israel have made, not long time ago, one much better issue of Air Force of Israel (see attachments), but there was also some obstacles, as limited stamps that can be used for this purpose are framed to stamps for domestic use only, and tab which are used for "personalized" topic printed on it. So, we cannot blame people for this.
On this specific Souvenir leaf, stamp used are "Flag" issue from 2011 year, with left size tab used for personalized photo. On tab, we see four airplanes in show flight over air base.
Final word: Worth to have in collection of Israel stationery, and well suitable for topical collection of "Flags, Air Planes, even Bible"!
