Item Description
Description:This exceptional postcard, sent from Tel Aviv (under the British Mandate of Palestine) to Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1929, is a unique piece of postal history. The card features a stamp depicting the iconic Tower of David, an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Certificate Nr2691 by Carlos Hernadez Rocha
What makes this postcard particularly rare and valuable is the unique combination of thematic elements. Alongside the Tower of David stamp, the card bears a postmark commemorating "Lighthouse Day" in Uruguay. ( A very scarce postmark. ) This blend of a historic tower and a lighthouse symbolically ties together two architectural and cultural themes: the citadel representing defense and heritage, and the lighthouse symbolizing guidance and safety.

Judaica: Represents an important period in Jewish history and diaspora, featuring an iconic symbol of Jerusalem.
Lighthouses and Towers: The combination of the Tower of David and the lighthouse postmark makes it a standout piece for thematic collections focused on architectural structures.
Postal History: The postcard's journey during the British Mandate period and its arrival in Uruguay reflects the global connections of the era.
Priced accordingly , this postcard is a rare and historically rich artifact, perfect for collectors who appreciate the convergence of history, architecture, and culture.
An exceptionally unique piece that comfortably fits into a high-end, world-class collection
