This photo shows a pre-1930 Zionist flag. I found it in the essay East of 
Zion (https://aeon.co/essays/what-happened-to-the-ideal-of-multireligious-arab-modernity,
picture). 
It is captioned "British and Zionist flags fly over an Arab village. 
Photo 
taken between 1898 and 1930. Courtesy the Matson Collection at the Library of 
Congress". [The photo shows also a car from the 1910s. So it can be narrowed down to the years 1910–1930] 
It resembles the flag in the 
Larousse Dictionary, except the stripes run horizontally.
The photo 
is black-and-white, of course, and has been taken with orthochromatic file, 
which renders blues much lighter than they are, and renders red as almost black. 
I would guess that the lower stripe is dark blue (approximately the same as the 
blue of the Union Jack beside it), and the star is yellow.
