One of four stamps depicting light sources from throughout our country’s history issued to serve as a reminder that America is a shining beacon of liberty. Fueled by a love for freedom, truth, and reason, we continue to instill in future generations a desire to establish that which is true and just, not only in our country, but in other nations as well.

The iron “Betty” lamp was a primary source of light for settlers in the Plymouth colonies during the mid 1600s to the late 1700s.
