Hello everyone,
I received this beautiful stamp sheet by India Post issued in 2005, about Letterboxes in different time and regions.
And I absolutely loved it, so thinking about starting a thread to share and enjoy the beauty of Postboxes around the world on stamps
Have fun with this thread and keep sharing your lovely stamps on Postboxes or letterboxes:) miniature sheet and souvenir sheets are also welcome.
Ps. We would appreciate stamps received on cards

Singpost had this made as a gift for its 165th birthday last year.
Unfortunately, the stamp and card weren’t for sale - which is a pity, they’re quite good looking!

Posti issued a series of postbox stamps and matching maximum cards in 2011. The postboxes are privat postboxes, not Posti’s official orange postboxes for mail collecting.
