Vatican 2015 Europa CEPT old toys – stamps set

The Vatican 2015 Europa CEPT Old Toys stamp set was issued as part of the Europa CEPT (Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) series, with the theme for that year being “Old Toys”. Each year, countries participating in the Europa CEPT series release stamps that highlight a shared cultural theme.

For the Vatican’s contribution to the 2015 theme of “Old Toys,” the stamps featured:

A traditional wooden pull toy – This toy typically symbolizes the simple yet imaginative playthings of the past, often crafted by hand.

A vintage doll – The doll featured in this set reflects the classic, well-loved toys that were once cherished by children and passed down through generations.

These stamps emphasize the Vatican’s connection to cultural heritage and the timelessness of childhood play, using nostalgic toys as a way to connect past and present.
