Guinea Ecuatorial: 1986

Mexico hosted the 1986 World Cup championships in football.

The No. 9 player seems to be neckless!

This Christmas stamp pictures musical instruments.

Guinea Ecuatorial: 1984

These are wood carvings of figurines.

The papaya tree looks different  from any found in the Philippines...maybe a different variety?

These are scenes of whale hunting and turtle hunting.

The whale looks small!

Guinea Ecuatorial: 1983

For World Communications Year in 1983, Equatorial Guinea issued a two-stamp set, one of which shows a postal runner in a village.

Can't say for sure if this was a current scene at the time. Perhaps of the past?

The runner's body position, with respect to the arms and legs, looks awkward!

Guinea Ecuatorial: 1982

This is the top value in a set of four stamps issued for the 1982 World Cup championships in football that was held in Spain.

Now, what's that palm tree doing in the soccer field?

Guinea Ecuatorial: 1980

Although dated 1980, these stamps were actually issued in 1981.

Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial is Spanish for the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, which was formed in 1968.

Located on the western shore of central Africa, this small country is around one-fourth the size of Luzon, with just over a million inhabitants!

The Christmas stamp above depicts a youth and twin bells.
