A day like today (November 12) but in 1968, Uruguay released a serie of 7 stamps celebrating the 150 Anniversary of the National Navy. The serie was a mix between regular (3) and air mail(4). One of the three regular mail stamps was dedicated to the navigation aid. A buoy in the front and in the background a stylized lighthouse inspired by the "Isla de Lobos" light.
Catalogue: S 761 Y 771
And three years later, exactly in the same day (November 12-1971), Uruguay Correos overprinted a new value and a locomotive on the lighthouse, transforming the regular mail stamp in a parcel post stamp.
Catalogue: S Q101 Y CP101
