I had a quick question. What is allowed on the top of a flag pole? I have seen eagles, points and trucks, but is there anything else. The only reason I ask is because they just placed a flagpole where I work and there is our symbol on top. It made me wonder, please help...

I, too, have the same question... Is there protocol as to what is "allowed" on the top of a flag pole? Any advice is most appreciated. Thanks!

A spear point would not be improper... many smaller US flags on sticks - and school classroom flags and such like have spear finials.

An improper finial for it would be any religious symbol one such as a cross or 6 pointed star etc

an eagle one is only usually used with a US flag - so it is more of a unique symbol - where as a spear is used for any flag

i would also question a company symbol on top a flagpole which is flying the US flag.... after all.... this could be considered as advertising using the flag... which is against US flag code...
that finial would belong atop a staff which was flying the company flag...

if flying the company and USA flag on the same pole i would go for a ball finial.. something neutral
