Old And New Stamps Of Estonia ( Europe )

The stamps of Estonia are issued by the postal administration Eesti Post which is the country's only provider of universal postal service. Estonia was under Swedish Empire in 1625 and was then administratively divided between the north and south Estonia, a division which lasted until the early of 20th. century. On the 26th. September 1632, a public notice " Postordnung " was declared which marked the opening date for general mail in Estonia. The first Estonian stamps inscribed " Eesti Post " were issued on November 24th. 1918 and were used concurrently with some Russian stamps overprinted for use in Estonia. Estonia joined the UPU on 19th. May 1922. Eesti Post issues an average of 25 - 30 different stamps. The most popular themes are lighthouses, architectural monuments, folk costumes, birds, animals as well as Christmas stamps.
