Brazil Lighthouse Stamps, May 2023 – post #1

On 29 May 2023, Brazil released a sheet of 8 stamps, each featuring a Brazilian Lighthouse. Each of the stamps has an associated postmark. The postmarks are nearly identical but for the location name at the bottom. Rather than trying to fit all the images and information into one post, I will break them down. into four posts to be published over the next few days. You can read more information about the stamps in the Special Postal Issue, Brazilian Lighthouse.

I got a lot of help with this stamp issue with information coming from Jaap Termes, Will Diersmann and Ton Vogelaar. Thanks to all.

2017 New Caledonia Lighthouse Stamp

Here is a stamp that has been hiding for more than five years until Mike DePaz called it to our attention! On 8 Nov 2017, New Caledonia issued this tamp to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Cage Philatelic Club. It features the famous Amédée Lighthouse which is located on a small island off the south coast of New Caledonia.
