Guernsey Lighthouse Stamp, 23 Apr 2025

On 23 April 2025 Guernsey issued a set of four stamps showing “Places to Visit”. One of these stamps shows a stylized view of Castle Breakwater Lighthouse located at St. Peter Port on the end of the breakwater.

Estonia Lighthouse Stamp, 19 Feb 2026

On 19 Feb 2026 Estonia issued a new lighthouse stamp. This marks 32 years that  Estonia has issued at least one stamp in this series. This year, the stamp shows Vormsi Lighthouse which is located on the Gulf of Finland in northwestern Estonia near Saxby. An interesting feature of this lighthouse is that it is both the rear range light for Vormsi North Range (C3758.1) and the front range light for Vormsi Southeast Range (C3757.9).The stamp was issued in sheets of 25 with a column of labels down the left side. The first two labels shown below show lights on the labels that I cannot identify but I assume are older versions of the North and Southeast range lights. If you can identify them, please leave a comment. The others are indicated in the description of the images.
