Tab

A tab refers to a label attached to stamp. They had already been known for various stamps already, and gained interest again when the first stamps of Israel were released.

For Israel, these involve bottom margin stamps. Some would have a small blank section below the portion with artwork, some did not. So, references for individual issues need to be checked to prevent being fooled by trimmed tabs.
